My Nemesis in Tying
Years ago, I purchased an EC Caddis out West and the fly was so successful, I went to Blue Ribbon Flies to try to cajole them into demonstrating how to tie it. Neither Bucky, Craig or Juracek was there, so no one was able to demo it for me.
Upon returning home, I watched a Youtube video on it and have found it to be inexplicably difficult for me to tie. Not sure why. I'm reasonably sure that others face this problem with a particular pattern??
However, it is still a favorite of mine to fish.
This is "supposed" to be an EC Caddis. Trying to face my fears.

Never tied one, but I think it would be similar.

What is your problem with it?
Cheers,
A.

Byron,
I just tie 'em (E/C Caddis) and Mercer's Missing Link, the Trout seem to like both patterns - no matter what I think...although I do, at times, force the wing down with my thumbnail, while in use...

PT,
Nice! I like the sorta loop on the trailing shuck.

Byron,
It is my belief that Caddis emergers and cripples should appear messy...kinda' like this one:
