AHrex Hooks - CDC & Elk Caddis by Hanna B. Vestergaard

The very experienced and super cool tier and fly fisherman Hanna ties a classic with a twist. The Elk Hair Caddis is one of the world’s most popular dry flies - and does a great job of imitating a fluttering or egg laying caddis fly… or sedge fly as they say in UK. And CDC has never done anything bad for a dry fly, so Hanna’s combo will do great for trout and grayling anywhere in the world.

I have come back to this Video several times since it was first posted to refresh my technique for tying what is in my opinion one of the best Elk hair Caddis versions for the Western slope states from the Black Hills of South Dakota to the west coast of Washington & Oregon and particularly the area from the Black Hills to the Eastern Slopes of Idaho and Montana this pattern is particularly effective for Native and stocked Trout especially Native Brown and Brookies when used with a dropper. This Lady tying them is a very talented fly maker herself and a real artist who has obviously studied insects that Trout of the Western US like to eat. I tie and use the Olive and Dunn version of this with great success when encountering picky fish that have been fished before. Thanks for this great video.

Ah...it's so wonderful seeing women skilled fly tiers devoted to the art. Your dubbing technique was most interesting.

Love your version and tying skills. I will make a few replicas for the Waioeka River down-under in NZ and see how it goes! Keep up the good work. Kind regards.

Great tie!

[@Jaimelapoesie]

Yeah, really like that dubbing technique!

[@kennethsanders963]

Hi Hanna: I love tying caddis trout love them. Your pattern caught my eye .I will tie them pu. Thanx Ken PS. I know by watching you tie, but I find using barber scissors (mine are 4" long) makes cutting CDC feather in a clip so much easier.Just saying.😊😊😊

So few ladies into fishing, I wish more liked it.

[@АлександрОльхоновский-в5я]

Класс!

[@dewiwilliams9574]

Real nice tying. Great pattern

[@stevepesut5304]

That is one good looking fly. I’d imagine it would float like a cork with the deer and CDC. Good job.
