caddis experiment

what do you think?

wrong hook for one. it was on my desk so i used it

OK. your turn

Normand, I like it a lot. Same basic technique as your ants? Love the look.

Normand,

Lots of fish-catching potential IMHO. I like it!!

Best regards, Dave S.

very nice.

the body is the same as the ants. pearly green colored beads, super glued in position, coated with clear cure goo and a final coat of sally hansen nail polish

biots for the wing buds

that’s an excellent tie norman. since when does the hook make a difference?

Please tie a couple with Amber/Tan beads, and let me toss them on the Gunnison in a couple months. Heck, I will throw em now and do fine.
Nice tie sir.

Why the Sally’s over the clear goo?

Think I’ll try the Clear Cure Goo - can you cure it with a regular UV Light like knot sense? Or do you need a special one.?

because the bottle of clear cure goo that i have dries tacky. you could leave it as is but everybody overcoats it.

clear cure goo does offer a tackless version.

i cannot answer that question.

will this work?

nice normand

Oh yeah! That will work just dandy!

i think i need to add some legs to these experiments

Legs might make you feel better. I know it wont make a difference to the fish I go after. :slight_smile:

Very nice flies Normand. Your photography is excellent also.

Agree with everyone above. These are some great looking flies!

Flies look nice.

Do you know if there is a difference between the clear cure goo that is sold for fly tying and clear shoe goo?

Nice ties. Tried these type of patterns a while ago (epoxy version) and never had much luck fishing them. Problem is you really can’t get the body thin enough for a convincing imitation, in my opinion. Fun to play with, regardless.

i am not a chemist but i will venture a guess that they are not the same product

Normand,

Are you using the thin or thick variety of Clear Cure Goo? Have you tried the No-Tack stuff? They say there is no need to overcoat.
