Went out on my first flyfishing trip today. Numerous small/medium bass & trout and 1 biggun I never got to see that revealed my poor blood knot skills.

This pattern in particular was slaying them and I wanted to get the name of it.

It looks like elk hair caddis from my searches. Didn't see any w/ the legs though.

Thanks

Looks like a variation of a Tom Thumb to me. See http://flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/042902fotw.php
