Tim it was an Honor to finally meet You at This Years Edison Show. When I was in my Teens and still occasionally Ultra Light Spin Fished for trout on opening day here in Soprano Land. The few trout that I kept upon cleaning them I opened wondered why there was sticks and pebbles in their stomach contents. Doing the research I realized they were eating complete caddis in their cases. I developed a few variants over the years. This one with be tied in the near future. Simple to tie and looking very effective. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for a great video sir!! I've learned a TON from you having watched you now for 6 or 7 years. Only last Fall, getting in to tying digging out the "intro" set my folks got me some 20+ years ago!! Replacing the set "piece by piece" -- I've seen steady progress, improvement and quality in my tying!! Thanks again, and have a great weekend!
Awesome! I've got a scrap materials box thats always coming in handy, and this will be another one of those times. I've got plenty of pheasant tail fibers with the tips cut but are long enough to use for this
Thanks Tim. Heard you on the Cut & Retie podcast and loved hearing the history of how your channel started. Thanks for all you do! I learned how to tie flies through your videos! Have a good spring season!
Classic and simple, awesome. Always smile when my tungsten jig snags a cased caddis from the streambed - when your fly catches a fly, do you keep fishing your fly or switch to the fly your fly just caught?!?
Simple and effective. I'd add a flat lead underbody to mine. If you like this fly, check out Pat Dorsey's Mercury Cased Caddis and Rich Strolis' Cased Closed fly patterns- similar, but different.
You absolutely could tie it as a jig if you want. I however prefer them as weightless as possible to better mimic the manner in which the naturals are carried downstream. I fish these most often in a tandem rig with a euro jig as the anchor fly to get both flies down near the stream bottom quickly.
I actually want it to be as close to neutrally buoyant as possible. I usually fish it along with a weighted fly in a tandem rig in order to get everything down near the bottom, where trout tend to hang out.

What a great pattern!
Always a Pleasure Tim 🎉 …… I feel as though I have known You since we were Kids !! Be Well ……..
🌟🎣💫
Everytime I see that insect tank I love it
I just love the KISS principle of fly tying, it’s quick and efficient and it catches fish. What’s not to like? Cheers mate. Harera
Hey Tim,
Thanks, always something good
Coming from you, nicely done ☕️☕️

Thanks, Tim, for another great video. You tie effective flies in an effective manner and I enjoy tying your patterns. Keep up the good work.
Very interesting bobbin holder that you load with the bobbin of thread.
It's a Rite bobbin holder, very nice!
Great video Tim. Could you possibly do some popular perdigon patterns in the near future?
Great video quality and a very easy and sturdy imitation.
Thank you for sharing your know-how. It would be nice to use it when fishing for Lenok in China in the near future. 👍

Thanks time super great and easy to tie .

Nice ! Tight lines🐜🐛🕷️!!!!!
Nice. Seems like some of the easiest flies are also the most effective (this one, zebra midges, Walt's worms, Griffiths gnat......
Tim, what are your thoughts of using a green flour tung bead and jig hook so it could be fished Euro style?
You absolutely could tie it as a jig if you want. I however prefer them as weightless as possible to better mimic the manner in which the naturals are carried downstream. I fish these most often in a tandem rig with a euro jig as the anchor fly to get both flies down near the stream bottom quickly.
Thanks
I was going to ask a similar question but with adding some weighted wire beneath the body @@tightlinevideo
Wow I just uploaded this pattern but in a euro style on my channel on Monday.
What do you think to add some lead wire underbody to make it sink better? thanks greetings from Italy. ciao
I actually want it to be as close to neutrally buoyant as possible. I usually fish it along with a weighted fly in a tandem rig in order to get everything down near the bottom, where trout tend to hang out.
@@tightlinevideo Thanks for your answer. ciao
Hi Tim how would you fish this pattern?
The pheasant tail fibers are a fuss to work with. I started winding 1 mm dark brown hemp jewelry cord around the hook to imitate the case.
Is this a dry fly ? ...because there's no weight added
Fulling Mill 5105?
