Very nicely done Byron! I've always liked the look of the Goddard Caddis but I've never tied one.

Thanks. It’s my nemesis. Hard for me to trim. Not a barber!

Barber or not, I'd let you cut my hair any time. Byron. Very nicely done.

Thanks so much. You must not have a lot of hair??

This reminds me of a funny story told by perhaps my favorite tyer of all....Al Troth.

As most know, he was a guide at Bud Lilly’s and tied commercially in the off season. Had his own catalog....certainly wasn’t a one-fly wonder. He invented many patterns besides the EHC.

Anyway, he said that he disliked tying the Goddard Caddis. But, he annually got lots of orders for them. So, he jacked the price of that pattern way up so he wouldn’t have so many orders for them.

Result? The number of Goddard Caddis orders went up!!
