Davy Wotton's Hatching Caddis Originator: Davy Wotton Tied by Shawn Nicewonger
Thread: 6/0 Rust Hackle: Brown English partridge Rib: Gold oval tinsel #14 Hook: Mustad 9671 #14 Wing: Natural rabbit Abdomen: Rusty brown dubbing Thorax: Rusty brown dubbing Wingcase: Swiss straw to match body color

Tying Instructions
Tie in rib and dub 3/4 of the body, wind rib and tie off. Tie in wing case material, followed by a tuft of rabbit fur for the wing. Build up thorax with dubbing, then make 2-3 wraps of partridge. Divide rabbit fur and partridge, pull swiss straw over the top to make wing case. Make a neat head and whip finish. See Davy's article in American Angler May-June 1991 pg 58.
