| Tying Instructions |
| Attach your tying thread and wrap slightly into the hook bend. Tie in a piece of brown thread and then dub onto your tying thread. Wrap the dubbed body to the wing position. Wrap on the brown thread as a ribbing with about 5 wraps and tie off and trim. Tie in a small bunch of wood duck fibers and trim excess. Carefully place two small slips of duck wing along the sides and tie on. After trimming the excess, attach a single strand of peacock herl and form the head with about five wraps. Whip finish. |
| Fishing Tips |
Thanks to Pete for a unique swap theme. I decided to stick with a pair of similar caddis patterns and even though I seldom fish the dry fly with a dropper, this certainly makes for a combination that I am sure to try next spring.
Happy fishin'...enjoy...byard |
