Send as VFB eCard Fluttering Caddis Tied by Travis Hansen Thread: 6/0 to match body color Hackle: Grizzly, dun, black, or brown Hook: Mustad 94840 sizes 12-20 Wing: Natural elk hair Abdomen: Natural fur dubbing (light green) Tying Instructions Attach thread to hook shank Dub a body two thirds of the way up the hook shank Stack and clump elk hair, attach where body ends (make sure to leave room for hackle) The wing should extend just past the hook bend Tie in and wind approporiate size hackle Whip finish Fishing Tips You can fish this caddis at any time of the day. The pattern offers a few more advantages then the Elk Hair Caddis. This fly has the hackle on the head so the body rides just in the surface film. Most fish will go for that rather than having the fly ride on top of the water. Happy Fishing!
