Elk Hair Caddis Wings

[Bucky]

Thanks for all of the advice! I will have to try some of these techniques out next time I tie an elk hair caddis.

Take one turn around the hair only first. the second turn, pull the thread tight around the hair and hook and in front of the first. Take a third very tight turn in front of the second. Take a fourth tight turn at the second turn, whip and you're done. This way, you are tying a bundle of hair to the hook and it can't spin unless you put a turn behind the first.

tie in the wing like Hans does on his CDC & Elk

The "up and under" as described by Ronn.

First loop goes around the hair only (above the hook). Second, third..... around the hair and hook.
