Not only was the narration/direction of this Caddis Emerger pattern great, but the actual tier in the video was very precise. Thank you very much for another well produced video.
This pattern is so effective and I often use it as a tag fly off my anchor fly while nymphing or swinging through riffles on the Delaware. I like to tie in a double CDC loop wing on the pattern.
I personally like the white for the outer sheath and rely on the inner core to produce the color that shines through. That said, I know olive, tan, light yellow also work well for the outer sheath or bubble.
Yep, same technique but here you pull back to inflate and on the egg you pull forward. I do think it's the look that both have, an inner core surrounded by a translucent outer layer that make them so effective.
another great pattern and video. always learn something new when I watch your videos. I just picked up a 200yd skein of NZ 100% wool yarn, can make some nice indicators with it too. Mike
Have you tried Yorkshire wool? i think its more water repellent than New Zealand wool, we measure our rainfall like pressure only in liters per square inch rather than pounds. I haven't tried wool from Lake District sheep yet, it should be good, those little beauties are semi-aquatic!
Your videos are the best in explanations and reasons of fly tying .

the open spiral preparation wrap just blew my mind...
You guys have the best fly tying videos on the net!
I just love all your videos! Thanks so much for taking the time to edit these nicely and to share your knowledge with us.
It's my pleasure, glad you like them.

I find it comforting that you also call them fuzzies. Great stuff! Keep the videos coming.

That's a fact. Tightlinevideos are the best!

Yes, absolutely.

Sure, antron, zelon, Aunt Lydia's rug yarn, even fibers of antron dubbing.
ButterBelly!! Love it!!
as always, very nice video. thanks
Thread color really doesn't matter. You're right olive Flymaster really does look more brown than olive.
Nice one Tim.
It is a awesome fly
Great video. Interesting approach to the Caddis Emerger - I like it. Will give it a try tonight and on the river tomorrow.
Cool fly, the wool body is similar in look and technique of the antron egg
Thanks!
Exelente
Nice Guinness Glass.
Cool fly
Do you always use white material for the shuck? Would olive or tan also be effective? Thanks for the videos.

Can I still use Zelon/Antron if I don't have the wool on hand?
Nice video. Where do you get the wool?
Hi
What can I use if I can not find partridge
I loathe dubbing and used peacock herl instead of dub for the body. Either way, she is a beaut. Thank you for sharing Tim.
Never mind. You explained in the video and I missed it the first time.
great pattern!can i tie it in difrent colors ?
sorry my english
What size ranges do you find the most practical
Hi, Can you give me some tips on trout flies?
Instead of dubbing a head< I have tied this using a black plastic bead instead. You're welcome. 😊
You say you use olive thread, but I think this is kind of light brown or rusty brown.
Could I use CDC?
For which part?
tightlinevideo I am assuming for the bubble instead of the wool. I had the same question and will try it out tonight. Great video.
