    Default Dette Caddis SBS



    Neat fly; simple to tie, catches fish.

    hook - Dai Riki 320 #16
    thread - MFC 8/0 brown
    egg sac - chenille small light olive
    abdomen - muskrat
    wing - partridge
    hackle - brown/dun


    mash barb, wrap thread back to bend




    strip end off chenille and tie in




    one wrap of chenille, tie off and trim




    dub thread, dub body to 75% mark






    tie in partridge; extend wing gap width past bend




    tie in hackles




    wrap hackle (did these one at a time, both at once works, too); tie off, trim, half hitch x2, SHHAN

    Thanks Scott. I really like this one! I'm always on the lookout for easy to tie caddis patterns. This one is definitely going in the box.

    Speaking of boxes...I have to ask. Based on the number of SBS's you do here, how many boxes of flies do you have?

    Royce,

    Kinda like Noah's Ark - 2 of each per stall
    Have to admit, a number of these have been one-offs, experiments, itch-scratchers, just-for-funs, although some are moving to the production line.

    Regards,
    Scott

    nice bug! I really like the effect of those two hackle colors combined.
