Step 1: The hook
For a fly of this weight and size a jig hook is better choice, as it will snag a bit less. Just keep in mind you are going to lose your fly, and have some spare.
Here I used #10 Skalka Jig hook.



Step 2: Bead and Lead
I am using some seriously heavy metal - 4.6 mm Tungsten bead and a layer of flat lead.



Step 3: Tip
For the tip I am using 4 strands of UNI Neon thread, color Fluo Green. It will imitate the peeping caddis larva and - more importantly - act as an attractor.



Step 4: A touch of dubbing
To make the tip more pronounced I add a small ball of hot green dubbing; it will make the tip more pronounced.



Step 5: Hackle
A smallish partridge feather to imitate legs of the caddis larva and add movement to the fly.



Step 6: Finish the hackle
Wind the hackle, attach a thin gold tinsel.



Step 7: Body
Dub body of scruffy dubbing from back of a hare.



Step 8: Finishing touches
Counter rib the body and whip finish. Brush the fly vigorously with a velcro strip.
Take a step back and enjoy your work

Jindra,
Very nice work. Never used anything like this, might need to learn how.
Thanks

This fly is unsuited for anything else than short line nymphing - which is not for everyone (I resort to it myself only when absolutely necessary).
But when the season starts the rivers are high, muddy and cold - a fly like this and short lining style might save your day (and it might not, but that's what fishing is like...)

Cheers!

Think you are getting your Czechs mixed up with your Romanians Nick?

Cheers Jindra, great fly and straightforward SBS.

Very nice fly and quite simple to make (in different body colours), Jindra.
As you said only for close nymphing! Anybody try to cast this fly, wear a helmet.

Thanks for posting SBS,
Johan
