Caddis Larva

Tied By Stan Darnell

Hook: Kumoto kj310 #12

Thread: Lagartun steel grey 74d

Bead:

Materials-

body: Grey scud dub+ by Yellowstone fly goods

tail: Chartreuse vernille 2mm with the end burnt

tail: Brown speckled hen saddle, folded

tail flash: Pearl crinkle, midge

rib: Copper wire, brassie

Notes:

I usually run the chenille up to the bead to help keep it in place, clip it off the back of the hook , slightly past the bend and burn it. Carefully…

Grab a hen saddle feather, clip the tip out and fold it across the chenille to “veil” it. Add a tiny bit of flash, then start the copper wire and sun the body. Finish the rib and finish the fly. 

This is best when fished under a small midge in higher water, it attracts the fish and usually will also catch fish while the midge does too.
