GETTING STARTED
MATERIALS NEEDED
- Hook: TMC 2457 Size 12 Scud
- Thread: 8/0 Olive
- Wingcase: Olive Sow Scud Dubbing
- Shuck: Olive Sow Scud Dubbing
- Body: Green/Blue Killer Caddis Beads
- Wing: Short/Fine Deer Hair
- Head: Peacock Herl
Step 1: Slide 3 killer caddis beads onto hook and slide to the eyelet.
Step 2: Tie on thread at the back of hook.
Step 3: Take some sow scud dubbing and tie in, at the back of hook, to form a wingcase and a trailing shuck.
Step 4: Pull wingcase dubbing back and tie a thread bump at the back of the hook so the beads won't slide past the bump.
Step 5: Bring the thread forward in front of the beads and pull the wingcase dubbing over the beads.
Step 6: Take a small, stacked clump of deer hair, measure half the length of the body and tie in as the wing.
Step 7: Tie in one strand of peacock herl and wrap in to form the head.
Step 8: Whip finish and the fly is ready for a caddis hatch.
