CDC Caddis

[jindra]

The tie:
#10 dry fly hook
8/0 UNI thread Tan
fluo green floss (glo brite used here, but any would do)
scruffy hare dubbing
gold rib
3 CDC feathers for wing
2 CDC feathers spun in loop for hackle

Good fly for midsummer evenings. It floats like cork, so perfect for faster riffles. Excellent sport can be had with it by jerking it underwater on a slowly sinking leader. It will skitter and pop back up, drawing furious strikes
Cheers!

Thanks Jindra, more flies to tie this winter! This is getting out of control!

Looks excellent - Is the green bit vital?

Nice fly Jindra, I'd fancy one with an orange tag as well.

Thanks for your kind words

The green part is not vital, but I find it helpful. Caddis flies on my rivers have greenish hue to their butt, so the tag is not entirely unnatural - It is just slightly exaggerated. I feel it helps the fish to pick the correct one from many caddis flies drifting down. I trust it, and confidence in your fly is very important.

Cheers!
