The Tabou Caddis Emerger - Two Materials
Some weeks ago Steve Schweitzer did a clinic for Front
Range Angler during which he tied his Tabou Caddis.
Subsequently some pictures were placed on the Global Flyfisher which may help you with tying the pattern.

"Oftentimes, when I show the Tabou Caddis Emerger to fellow fly fishers, they comment on how simple it is and buggy looking, "Why didn't I think of that?!...that thing's gotta work!...how buggy...", they comment. Well, they hit the nail on the head with the simplistic bugginess concept, but I claim the pattern really isn't new, I think it's just a new way to tie an emerging caddis with some under-used and relatively unknown materials in my flytying material collection."
