I have to say this is genius, you are a fly tying artist. This is similar to one of my favorite patterns. Thanks for sharing I'm definitely going to subscribe. Your awesome man.
Back in The Early 70's I remember when Fly Fishing and keeping a few trout for The Pan I was amazed how many pebbles and stick matter was actually in a Trouts Stomach.
Wow, that is quite an accurate representation. I found some caddis fully cased the other day stuck to the rocks with some fine webby material to bind the debris down. I peeled back the casing a little and the pupa inside was a brilliant green much like the color of your dubbin. The wing case appeared a brownish tan color. Very interesting tie and no doubt a must for my box.
The white stuff after he melts the chenille is some fibres of marabou or other material that was on his bodkin needle that probly wasn't done delibrity
you all probably dont care at all but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Giovanni Elliot i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Really nice and innovative! I sure will tie some to bring to my trips this season.Why do you use curved hook? Is it to get the fly swim up side down, or what? The real cased caddis has a quite straight "house".
Sadly I didn't know the drake had a fly tying forum. I did check out horn_identity, certainly some nice tying skills, but I couldn't find the pattern. I've messed around with melting all sorts of material (ice dub looks pretty cool too). While I didn't copy it I'm sure I'm not the first guy to tie something similar. If you have the link handy feel free to post it I wouldn't mind taking a look. Thanks for checking it out
