Galloup's Butch Caddis SBS

http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/...psfced42da.jpg

Caught a few with this during a hatch, but it's worked better for me as a spent caddis or general attractor pattern. Added the rib because there's not much that a little Rootbeer KF can't improve. Tied here in hydropsyche colors; change to suit your needs. There's a video of Kelly tying this over on The Weekly Fly but I was never crazy about the camera angles; your choice.

hook - Dai Riki 320 #16
thread - UTC 70 tan
shuck/underwing - Congo Hair gold
rib - Krystal Flash rootbeer
abdomen - dubbing tan
wing/head - caribou hair

Part 1

Part 2

clean, stack and measure a clump of caribou; tips should extend to bend

2 soft loops, slowly pull tight without letting go of the tips; wrap forward to eye, then back 1 hook eye width (my apologies for the messy fingers; tied this up between coats of semi-gloss on the baseboards)

Interesting pattern. I'm not going to ask about the derivation or connotation of the name.

Butch haircut - for those who never went to a traditional barber, it's very short and usually uniform in length on the top and sides.

Back in the early '50's we had a jar of butch wax to get our hair trained to grow vertical for a proper flattop haircut. I worn a flattop any Marine would have been proud of until my sophomore year in college when this brown eyed girl convinced me to grown my hair out. In retrospect, butch wax would have probably been pretty good for dubbing wax, I'll bet some one tried it.
