    Default Tied Down Caddis SBS




    This one's been around for a while in various forms; thought the front-hackled version looked cool. Tried tying the tail down with tag end of thread but found 2 bobbins worked better for me.




    hook - Tiemco 5212
    thread - Danville 6/0 brown (x2)
    tail/back - deer hair
    body - 1mm foam orange
    hackle (body) - brown
    hackle (front) - coachman brown




    Part 1


    mash barb, attach thread at 70% point and wrap back to point above barb







    tie in a strip of foam (about 3mm wide)







    tie in hackle (undersize by one hook); let bobbin hang at tie-in







    start second thread bobbin at 75% mark







    wrap foam forward and tie off/trim at 70% mark










    wrap body hackle forward; tie off and trim







    clean and stack a clump of deer hair







    measure for length (extend hook gap length behind)

    Part 2


    transfer hair to material hand and tie down






    trim hair butts, cover with thread wraps and tie in front hackle




    wrap hackle, tie off and trim




    pull deer hair back and tie down






    half hitch x 2, SHHAN front and back and you're done




    Regards,
    Scott

    That looks like a fly I would have trouble drowning. Nice tie Scott.
