FlyTalk Poly-Caddis
For the tyers here at FF&W, if you want a simple caddis imitation for the coming season, check out the latest over at FlyTalk. The fly is the Poly-Caddis (not the only pattern with that name), GB’s synthetic take-off on the Elk Hair Caddis from back in 1972 (must be 70′s week here at FF&W). If I recall right, GB used macrame yarn for the wing originally. It’s still a great fly, and the use of the synthetic wing allows a pile of color/texture possibilities (and makes tiny sizes fairly easy to tie). Of course, synthetic-based caddis are common these days, but the original design (perhaps slightly updated with an X-wrap hackle), still does the job just fine.
