Another John Hazel fly I found over on Speypages. Not sure if it's really supposed to be an October Caddis but it's orange, they're kinda orange and they're starting to come out around here so their you go.


hook - Dai Riki 899 #8
thread - UTC 140/Danville 210 tan (Danville for the wing only - popped the UTC three times trying to tie down that clump of moose)
tail - elk hair
body - dubbing rusty orange
wing - moose body hair
collar/head - elk hair


Part 1

mash barb, start thread




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






clean, stack, measure (shank - looking back, I think I should have used the whole hook for length; these may be a bit stubby) a clump of moose body; tie in at base of return wire, trim butts






divide and post; leave the wings facing somewhat forward
