Very nicely done. The caribou Goddard is a fly I tie a lot. The lighter colors in caribou make it easy to match hatches with just a Sharpie.

Thanks! I've got a lot of Caribou on hand. I need to try tying some.

I was given a small piece a couple of years ago and was told it was the best available for spinning hair on flies. I need to dig it out and spin some.

Scott, what size hook did you use for that Goddard October Caddis?
-
Allen,
The Goddard's tied on a #14 Dai Riki 320.
Regards,

That would explain why the one or two that I attempted don't look as good. I tried to do a size 8, and I didn't pack the hair tight enough.
