FLYMPH FORUM

I thought I would throw some smaller caddis patterns together. See how they work pre-runoff. I saw a couple caddis fluttering around the other day.

Nice "hatch" Wayne. They look very effective. I'm looking forward to your stream report.

I cannot imagine those not working, Wayne. Like Ray, I anxiously await an account of your next float.

Wayne,
They look....delicious! From a trouts point of view of course! Very real looking (in other words, a great imitation!) and we can only imagine how great they will do when thoroughly dunked! You are one talented tier Wayne! I too want to hear the stream results on these little jewels! I know these would knock the snot out of some big bluegill in my neck of the woods!
In awe for sure,
D.

I agree, Doug! I'm going to cobble a few together and add 'em to my box to try.
(IF I ever get to go fishing. It went from too cold, to the creek running 12' above normal.)

Thanks folks. According to my journals the fish should be turning on to caddis in the next few days.

Same here. I remember you fishing these last season but I don't recall how well you liked them. They look like amazing "food stuff" and should certainly find their mark. I'm glad you're getting out there.

Thanks William. Last year just before murky high water, and for about a month during the murky water, these patterns did very well for me.



I know in the photos these patterns look gaudy, but once the fur that is in split thread and the hackle collapses around the body, the color becomes very subdued.

Nice!!!

Caught a lot of these guys today till lunch. Then the river turned to moss, and not a bite was had. Size 8 Stone nymph, and a size 18 caddis pupa. I w\swear I messed up all my photos today.
