This is the Brambridge Caddis, a fairly simple fly to tie and a good introduction to tying small flies.

HOOK- TMC103BL #21 (Or any light wire hook)
THREAD – UNI-Thread 8/0
BODY – Super Fine Dry Fly Dub (#2 Grey) Or any fine synthetic dubbing or natural such as Mole Fur
WING/HEAD – Bunch of Cock Pheasant Centre Tail


STEP 1
Mount the hook in the vice and attach the thread.



STEP 2
Tie in a small bunch of Pheasant Tail fibres, tips pointing over the eye as shown.
These should be long enough that when folded back they reach a little beyond the hook bend.



STEP 3
Trim the butts of the Pheasant tail at an angle, then tie down with the thread to leave a tapered body. Then add a small amount of dubbing to the thread.



STEP 4
Wrap the dubbed thread up to the eye then back to the position shown, this will leave a pronounced head area.



STEP 5
Fold the Pheasant tail fibres back over the head and body and tie down at the point shown in step 4. Then add a whip finish for the completed fly.



That’s it, as with most small flys the tying is fairly simple.
I always soak flys like this one in “Water Shed” when I tie them, allowing them to dry before putting them in the fly box.
You can alter the body colour to suit a variety of Micro Caddis.

Nice one Dennis.
This is a very similar one I tie with a polyarn wing:



Starting to tie for the grayling now & as I have now mastered (ha ha - famous last words )posting of photos on here, hopefully I'll actually get round to some step by steps.

See you by the river soon mate.....

That's a really simple method of tying a small Caddis Scotfly, thanks for that one. Also a nice fly ChalkstreamAngler. You've both given me some new ideas for these small flies. Thanks and I'm off to the vice !!

Basically the same fly Dominic, yours being a modern rendition of mine.
Look forward to seeing you on the bank, it's been too long
Look forward to your step by steps, we've got a nice community of steppers here, a testament to the skill and helpfulness on this forum
Glad you like it Bill, just watch the wing it's too easy to make it too long.
