So, I have been messing around with those new Gamakatsu hooks and wanted to come up with a Caddis cripple/emerger that hangs low in the surface film...
SLOPE CADDIS
Lemme’ see here…hmmmm…I went with scraggly…
HOOK: Gamakatsu C-16B. #16-#18
THREAD: Gordon Griffiths 14/0 Sheer Tan and White
ABDOMEN: Gordon Griffiths 14/0, Sheer White, ( built with a pronounced “hump” at the bend)
TAG: Holo Tinsel, Gold
OVER ABDOMEN: Stalcup’s Micro Midge Tubing, Tan, Grey, Olive Chart. or Brown
THORAX: SLF Prism, Tan, Lt. Grey, Brown/Olive, Olive, Peacock or Chocolate Brown
OUTRIGGERS: Thin strands of Snowshoe Rabbit’s Foot, Light Dun, Medium Dun or Dark Dun
UNDER WING: Three strands of Krystal Flash, Root beer, UV Tan, Olive, Rust, Pearl or UV Gray
WING: Coastal Deer Hair, Tan, Natural or Darker Mottled Shades, tied “bullet “style
This Caddis Cripple/Emerger was meant to be messy. I wanted the abdomen to hang lower in the water. The abdomen is a proven design off John Barr’s Graphic Caddis. The Snowshoe Rabbit outriggers are for additional support and motion. I went with the full length of the fibers rather than clipping them. The KF under wing is for sparkle I really like SLF Prism for it’s translucent quality and sparkle…
I figure it might work well here...
Say, starting about 7:30 PM, North or South of this location...
I subscribe to the DEAN ENDRESS philosophy of Fly Tying…”Make the SUCKA’ look alive and struggling”…
