Spider Caddis

[lv2nymph]

Tied for the October Caddis. Daiichi 1167 #12

 

[Chaz]

Tie it in an 18 and it will work anywhere there are crane flies.

Is the deer hair and cdc tied in a dubbing loop? Explanation please.

 

[lv2nymph]

Shane, the deer hair is stacked on top of the hook first, then cut off in a short post. Dubb thorax, Cdc in dubbing loop is then wrapped around under wing and in front of the post.

 

[SBecker]

Gotcha, cool.

 

[barrybarry]

Love the look of that. Going on the list of patterns that I need to emulate poorly.

 

[lv2nymph]

Thank you Barry, I'll bet they turn out fine.

Real nice looking tie Jack. I don't think I ever saw those materials tied in that style before. I really like it.

 

[SteveG]

Is the body a natural quill, or the synthetic? It looks awesome

 

[lv2nymph]

Chaz, thank you for that keen observation. I believe you are correct good sir. Thank you very much John & Steve. It is a natural quill, I get them stripped and dyed from polish quills.

 

[afishinado]

Really good stuff. Something a little different that would probably work to imitate a lot of different insects with a change in sizes and colors. (It may even replace the Chaz Special Cranefly (CSC) pattern I carry in my box)

 

[GenCon]

Looks really good Jack.

Looks like a hackle less klinkhammer.
Very nice Jack!
Change the colors to olive and gray, and you'd have a BWO emerger for spring time.

BTW - in spite of his handle on this site - lv2nymph ties excellent dry flies too

I've been away for awhile and come back to find Jack tying dry flies? This is obviously the work of DFG.

 

[FrequentTyer]

Well, it's kind of emerger looking so still half nymph
Nice fly Jack!
Mike.

 

[pro4mance]

Could be a new class of fly, the drowning stripper.

Looks like more than myself has seen the usefulness of this pattern! It's the creation of Swedish tier Micke Sash- up Anderson. I had originally saw it tied by another Swedish tier Anders Skau, after talking with Anders about it I knew it was one of those ties that would imitate more than a few things. I'm getting a box to fill with several different sizes and colors of it as many of you have suggested. Went to the tying symposium yesterday which was a good time, saw lots of good tiers, and of course picked up a thing or two. I-80 was closed at Loch Haven surprise! Three detours from three other accidents later I finnaly got home, it turned into a much, much longer day than planned. Thanks a lot Bill, that's Daiichi's version of the Klink hook, turkey Bill did indeed light the fire to fish on top more much more, carrying around a dryfly rod these days. Afish, ya think Chaz will be ok with that? Thanks for all of your comments.
Mike that's right it is half nymph after all... :roll:

Chaz actually conceded:

Tied one in #18, I can't wait to try these.

I left a few fibers long for the legs.

 

[lv2nymph]

18 olives

The wing's more of a light dun that it appears, I guess there's only so much you can do with a phone camera and a tying light. :-D
