Which Caddis is Your Favorite???

[Hans Weilenmann]

Hans,
Do you ever shorten the CDC on ABC???

Nope.

Do you find enough colors in CDC to imitate the various species of Caddis?

I have oodles of colors CDC, and in the early years I tied the pattern in a variety of color combinations. No longer.

For the past decade or more I have parred down to three combinations only:

Natural/natural (95%+) for imitating pretty much any caddis species and pretty much any mayfly species. Plus I use it as a general search pattern.

Yellow/yellow - for the yellow sallies and the sulphurs.

Black/black - as a cricket imitation.

Cheers,
Hans W
