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.
