PS - I am really digging these Dohiku hooks. Where have you been sourcing these?

Ray,

I got these hooks from Tactical Fly Fisher. They are mainly used for European nymphing but I like them for soft hackle flies as well.

great pattern....... we see many patterns posted here and elsewhere, but this particular one is outstanding. Dohiku makes a decent hook, I buy mine from the Dette Shop.

Very well done!

Confidence-inspiring. I'd fish that, right quick.

That would kill in the early morning on the Madison. Nicely done.

otto, Howdy;

That Seal knows how to hunt. Finds the most bestest flys.

Newriverspey,

Like the other members who responded to your post, I like this fly.
I was surprised when I saw the picture; it's not what I expected to see
when the title of the post was: Black Caddis. I was thinking, black body,
black hackle--a mostly black fly.

Does this pattern darken a lot when wet?

Thanks- Ken

Very nice! Love the proportions and the color/textural effects. This looks very fishy and worthy of pattern theft!
