I've also been playing with dry caddis patterns.

All about flies Fly Tying

The other day I wanted a slim but more buoyant dry caddis pattern than I had available in my box, so sat at the vice and concocted this.

Hook: Size 14 or 12 dry fly
Thread: UTC 70 Rust Brown
Back / Head / Over Wing: Natural deer hair (Roe deer)
Body: Wound CdC feather.
Wing: CdC
Hackle: Golden Badger trimmed top and bottom.

Its already taken fish on both stream and loch.

You are right Hans, it does. Hadn’t seen that pattern before. It goes to show “Fools seldom differ”.
Thanks Byron.
