Eide's Hatching Caddis SBS

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

Tied here as a hydropsyche; change color/size to fit your needs. On anything smaller than a #16 I'd use 1mm foam for the shellback and indicator. Indicator is optional, but for those late evening hatches, much appreciated.

hook - Dai Riki 135 #16
thread - UTC 140 tan
rib - Krystal Flash pearl
abdomen - Zelon dubbing hydropsyche tan
shellback - 2mm foam tan
wing - deer hair
thorax - CDC tan
indicator - 2mm foam orange

Part 1

mash barb, start thread; tie in rib, wrap halfway down the bend

Part 2


tie in CDC feather by tip; stroke fibers back and wrap thorax, tie off/trim (trapping barbs in a split thread loop would work, as well)

spread deer hair and pull the foam forward; tie down

add indicator

half hitch x 2, SHHAN, trim foam, shorten CDC (pinch method works great) to desired length

Thank you, Scott! I noticed some Caddis the last time I had my kayak out. This pattern would match them pretty good!

Nice tie. Do you think it might also work as a spent caddis, too, with the way wings are splayed back?

Bruce,

No reason to think it wouldn't work as a spent caddis.
