Cased Caddis Pattern?

[Festus]

I'm looking for a cased caddis pattern. I'm a decent tyer, but don't want anything too complicated. I'd like to be able to get through a tie pretty quickly and move on. Any help is appreciated!

Here you go Ry. I've heard good things about this guys patterns. All the way down at the bottom of the page.

Festus but how do you tie that. That is my question.

I've never tied it. Can't help you out. But I have a feeling that it's turkey tail that has been tied in and layered over a vernille chenille strip that has been singed and tied in as a tail. Looking at that pattern, I'm surmising that the turkey tail been been heavily sprayed with clear Krylon or a Flexament type of thing.

Appears to be a single length of chenille "poopa" style with various lengths of turkey quill tied in in layers.

A guy gave me a couple of his version once which was hot glue on a hook rolled in gravel or sticks he harvested from the creeks he planned to fish them in. They were pretty cool.

Here's an old-timer pattern that has worked well for me. I would guess it imitates a cased caddis. It's called the breadcrust:

Hey Sandly you have a heck of a good looking caddis pattern on your site, don't be bashful, it's the pupa pattern with the straggly sparce limp hackle.

Here's one of the first one's I tied of my new pattern. They're a bit better now, but just an idea of what I came up with.


Recipe:

sz 14 long shank nymph hook
Lead wrap for whole body
Wrap body with a few strands of pheasant tail with copper wire ribbing.
dub green nymph ice dubbing loosly or with dubbing loop.
tie in partridge for legs
Tie in ostrich hearl up to hook eye and finish.

[sandfly]

Thanks little J, Dou you mean the grannom one?

 

[Festus]

Prolly talking about the one you "borrowed" off DeFranks site. You gonna show everyone how to tie that one or do they have to pay to come see it done by the "Old Master" hisself?:lol:

[Festus]

you got a problem with me

Other than you being full of bull poop and my knowing all about it, and your refusal to take the time to help some of these new folks out unless you're pimping your Yarn Barn, the answer would be no.

 

[sandfly]
