Caddis fly marathon

Cabin fever has its upsides, I got a little OCD and now, well lets just say I'm set on caddis flies for a while.
The pattern is actually pretty simple, Antron or CDC underwing, then a couple of hen or partridge feathers tented over the back. Add a drop of super glue and slick it over the top of the wing. Then spin a sparse head of deer, moose, elk, or a combination and tie it off. The last step is just to do a shaggy uneven trim job, add another drop or two of superglue, slick it back and scrunch it up,

Pat, very nice

They will all fish well, but that top one will drive them crazy when the October Caddis hatch erupts. Nice looking bugs.

i like them flies! please send the box to 252 Old Canterbury Tpke, .........

Very nicely done.

those look amazing. i will have to make a few for my box. that is a great looking pattern

Those are sweet man.

All the flies in the box look like they're moving and ready to take flight. Sweet!

Pat, those are some really nice caddis patterns, think I'll tie a few for the box. Thanks for posting.

Thanks guys, I think I'm going to call them crunchy caddis', they're fun to tie and as you can see they work in a variety of colors and sizes. The smallest on I tied was a size 16
I do have to give some credit to beachmen, the body on all the smaller patterns, and many of my other flies is a v rib with flashabou wrapped in between which I got from some of his chameleon style flies at gig harbor fly shop. The technique looks great and adds a lot of life to an otherwise dull fly

Very nice Pat. Looks like it could qualify for a Yellow Sally

Pat, your flies have style. I dig em.

love the body on that first one!
