Caddis herl

[planettrout]

Jus a quick question - I didn't have any grizzly hackle for #14 -16 size caddis , I have tied 2
With ostrich herl; elk hair caddis , can this be done ? Has anyone ever done it ?
Yes I used color to match - any help? Suggestions? It's for the lower arkansas( near pueblo) thanks in advance

Grizzly Hackle and Peacock Herl are not needed...the pattern Allan is talking about is the Canoe Fly. It has been around for quite awhile. A dubbed body of Micro Fine BWO and a deer hair wing and head...that is it. Jim Schollmeyer shows how to tie it on pg. 79, Winter 2009 Issue, of Flyfishing & Tying Journal.

I expect that might take a fish or two during the Mother's Day hatch...
