Frailey's PolyChuck Caddis SBS

[ScottP]

Combination of a Chuck, Iris and Clacka Caddis; kinda weird looking but comes from good parents. Tied here as a general attractor; change colors to suit your needs.

hook - Dai Riki 320 #12
thread - Danville 6/0 black
body - peacock herl
underwing - Congo Hair honey mustard (no kidding)
wing - woodchuck
hackle - brown/grizzly

Part 1

start thread; tie in peacock and wrap to bend






twist peacock around thread and wrap to 2/3 mark






form a loop with a hank of CH; measure (to bend), tie in/trim








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

Part 2

tie in hackles




wrap, tie off/trim, half hitch x 2, SHHAN








mash barb (duh!), trim out hackle underneath (optional)








Regards,
Scott

This is the best looking Easy Hopper pattern I have ever seen. Tie in some legs with the peacock and the hackle...
