Cinnamon Caddis
Tied by Stephen DiCerbo
  • Abdomen: Blue Ribbon dubbing #SFD095
  • Wing: Medium or light elk or deer hair
  • Thread: Tan
  • Hook: TMC 100 size 14 or 16 , or equivalant
  • Tying Instructions
    ......a color variation of Fran Betters' "Try-It" or a Elk Hair Caddis without palmered hackle.....

    Beginning at the rear of the hook, dub in some superfine dryfly dubbing , color: "Cinnamon Caddis" from the Blue Ribbon Fly Shop in West Yellowstone, Montana... produced by Wapsi of Arkansas.

    Dub foward to the thorax area. Cut , clean and stack a medium sized clump of light or medium colored elk or deer hair, and tie in with the "pinch" method. Allow to flair just slightly. Trim butts close in front, leaving enough to form a head, a couple of wraps in the front of the hair butts, followed by a three turn whip finish. A touch of thinned laquer and you're done.....

    This fly is usefull on the western streams , where some of the Caddis have a peachy-pink colored body..... It came in real handy on the Missouri in Montana more than once...
