This fly looks brilliant. It has all we need. I like the fact that you don't end up with that horrible 'lump' of cut ends overhanging the eye as so many elk hair patterns seem to have. It males tying on a nightmare. Love your clips! :-)
Looks great and buggy. Will tie up a few for my next trip to the Hangaroa River, New Zealand which has long stretches of calm water. Thanks from down under.
Nice buggy fly 👍. Got to love that combination of materials combined with the heavier hook to fish it like you do. You really got that dialed in. Thanks for sharing.
It looks like you are trying to emulate the caddis pupa. I grease all by a few inches of my leader, cast and let a wet fly sink, then slightly raise the rod tip to simulate a pupa coming near to the surface. The black caddis pupa are not black so many fishers are missing out. The flies I use are sizes 16 and 18 and work extremely well for the black caddis hatch. I prefer using soft hackles for the winging materials. I cast down stream wet fly style, the fly sinks a bit, the fly pulls under, the a raised tip will induce a hard strike! Ron
Although it may have "caddis" in the name in my opinion its not a caddis imitation at all, or at least the fish dont take it as such. Its a great generic imitation of sth edible, sth buggy, those messy deer hair just give this fly this nice footprint in the film that is very suggestive of a struggling insects. Thats why this fly is effective under any condition and not only when theres a caddis hatch or sth
Very beautiful 💓
Thank you

Good one to try, different to how this one works but I will give the technique a try 👍
Interesting, I'm going to give the ostrich hearl a go, I like the way that looks. Cheers!
Glad you like it
Im wondering if anyone has put a tungsten bead on this...
Good call Chris, It's worth a try, you could also try replacing the ostrich with a soft hackle to give it more movement, Brian
Great pattern... Very productive..
Thanks Ken
One of my favorites.

Is this fly good to use in fall season? Or maybe mid November?
Have used it mainly in the warmer months in the UK
Nice fly 👍🏻
Cool dry that.
Thanks Mike
A great buggy fly. will give it a go.
Glad you liked it Dennis
Not a pretty thing is it? Absolutely. I love it!
It must be to the trout as it keeps producing which is the main thing
should be adding a dozen of these bad boys to the box over the winter
Hope they do the business for you
nice fly...

Yes I would agree, caddis are usually active in the evenings and this pattern works at any time of day
i like it i bet the fish do too
Thanks glad you liked the video
I really am having a hard time hearing and understanding what you are saying.
First time this has been mentioned, try turning your volume up
