Quigley Crime Scene Caddis variation SBS

A little different look than the Splitsville. Downwing, front-to-back hacklestacker; it'll ride low on the water.

hook - Dai Riki 305 #14
thread - MFC 8/0 olive
abdomen - 1mm foam olive
hackle post/indicator - 1mm foam orange
wing - deer hair
feelers - Krystal Flash rootbeer
hackle - grizzly dyed olive
thorax - dubbing olive

Part 1

mash barb; start thread at 70% mark and wrap back to bend




tie in foam strip; wrap abdomen








tie in post/indicator




clean, stack, measure (gap width past bend) a clump of deer hair; tie in, trim butts






tie in hackle at base of post

Part 2

tie in feelers




half hitch thread, flip fly over and attach weighted hackle pliers to foam strip




wrap hackle down post (thorax length), then back to base; tie off hackle and trim






dub thread, dub thorax; finish at base of wing






pull hackle back; tie down




half hitch x 2, SHHAN; trim indicator and feelers






not sure my eyes can spot that little bit of orange foam, so here's one with 2mm x 2mm foam post/indicator (head's a little bigger, but that's the tradeoff for visibility)




Regards,
Scott

Interesting way to tie hackle to the post, very nicely done. Keep-up the good ties.
