Bit of a Hans Weilenmann?s CDC&Elk

Nice tie! That would be an effective fly where I fish in the Sierra’s.

Thanks! A good pattern anywhere for Caddis.

Back when I used to fish nothing but dries, the CDC and Elk was my go-to caddis pattern. Change the color and size and you can have a match for almost any caddis. Hans came up with a great fly in that one.

It’s my go-to small-stream fly, too.

Nice pattern, that’s for sure

Nice pattern. I have two he tied at SowBug years ago.
