CASED
CADDIS
by Mike Murgida
This
pattern was designed by Oliver Edwards of
England and is from his lovely DVD Essential Skills
with Oliver Edwards: 1.Czech Nymphing 2. Upstream
Nymphing and North Country Spiders, which I highly
recommend. Out of all the cased caddis patterns I
have seen, this is the most realistic one I have
found and it is rather simple to tie. The tier can
modify the color combinations and hook sizes to match
any natural on their local rivers and streams.

DRESSING: |
| |
|
| |
Step
1:
Lead
the hook with 2 layers of lead tape and leave
a little room in the front of the hook unleaded
for the peeping grub. |
|
 |
|
| |
|
|
Step
2:
Tie
in the yarn and create the peeping grub by wrapping
forward over the unleaded part of the hook shank
and then doubling back to the leaded part. |
|
| |
Step
3:
Now
spiral down to the end of the shank and tie
in your Oliver Edwards Caddis Legs. Then wrap
up to the peeping grub and tie off very securely.
After that trim the deer hair in the shape
of a caddis case. |

|
| |
|
|
Step
4:
For
the legs take your Golden Pheasant center tail
and strip off some fibers but strip them off
at a right angle to the quill to receive little
hooked legs. Tie in your first set on the underside
of the hook. |
|
| |
Step
5:
Advance
further and tie in your second set of legs. |
|
|
|
|
Step
6:
And
finally your third set. |
Step
7:
Now
flip the fly right side up and whip finish. |
|
|
|
| |
|
| |
That
is it…now you have a very realistic cased
caddis larva.
