Mercury Cased Caddis

[tctrout]

My newest YouTube video features a modified Pat Dorsey pattern, the Mercury Cased Caddis. This is a SIMPLE fly to tie that works really well, especially in waters with caddis. You can vary the color of the actual caddis, though chartreuse seems to be a great one (both as a hot spot and natural imitation).

There are lots of great cased caddis imitations out there, though this one has been slowly rising to the top of my list.

Didn't have chartreuse thread, so I used chartreuse wonder wrap instead. I like the way they turned out. Wish I knew how to post a picture to show.

Watched it just the other day! Looks like a great pattern Tim. This is Jordan by the way.

Thanks, guys; it's a great one for sure...and so easy to tie! If you get it figured out Laszlo, get them posted because I like to try different materials for that section (like floss, Glo Brite thread, etc.). I have never used wonder wrap and am curious how it looks there.
