Here is a shot of my elastic band caddis which could be used for a meal worm or maggot imitation. This fly is tied on a very large hook (just to show the segment) but I do tie it down to a 14, depending on the size of the elastic. The one drawback with elastic bands is once you use the fly the water actually dries out the elastic band and it will become brittle and crack but they do work.

Why not just give it a few good coats of the varnish to seal it from the water? Thats what i did to add a lil sheen to it too I also. Used a old brown furniture marker along the top of the body looks real good after adding the the marker and varnish Your elastic caddis is a staple in my fly box now Thanks bud
