Caddis Larva Euro Nymph - Favorite Euro Nymphs - Fly Tying

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Congratulations to John Donnelly! You are the winner of the giveaway! Reach out to me to claim your flies :)

[@camprainsalot2569]

Thanks I sent you an Email

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

@@camprainsalot2569 Yes! I saw your email come in! Congrats! I never win anything myself! :) I should have the flies on their way in a few days time! If you catch anything on them, let me know! :)

[@rwglajolla]

As much as I like to tie, I like to fish more and totally appreciate the simple but effective ethic. These are definitely in the class of six-at-a-time ties! Thanks for sharing your approach to this staple.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Yeah... I tie quite a bit but I do it out of necessity and not because I love to tie. Simple and effective flies are my thing 😊

[@javierlopez1962]

That was a simple fly to tie. Thank you for explaining the recipe as you were tying. I am going to attempt to tie these.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Good luck! This is a great fly to start with!

[@joecruse4531]

Dear White Dog Outdoors, I just want to say your KZbin site is well thought out. Every video is full a practical information and it’s easy to retain the information. I hope you guys never stop helping to improve our fly fishing experience. Thank you, Joe

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks Joe! I appreciate your comment. I break down technical information and relay it in usable ways for both work and fishing. I enjoy that aspect of what I do :)

[@scbourne33]

Yup going to tie up a few of these. Well done!

[@TimLintner-wx5kw]

Hi, I am just getting into tying my own flies and just watched your video of tying a green cadis fly. I am going to get the necessary supplies for this fly & going to watch your other video's to learn how to tie other flies that you feature.

[@kenmusil8076]

Thanks again for this fly design

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

My pleasure

[@alexdroban4312]

Beautiful footage from the drone. I hope you can share more information about your drone and how you use it as well as the footage. Many of us just want to capture the beauty of the areas where we fish so that we can share them with friends and family. Thank you for you videos. They are most helpful and a pleasure to watch. 👍🏻

[@GeorgeAkemanColoradoLife]

Nice standard caddis nymph that will catch lots of fiesty trout. Good job fellas!!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

No doubt!

[@randydeskins9359]

Great looking caddis.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks! My 2 criteria are simple and effective. This is both.

[@larryoteham6689]

Great teacher! I enjoyed that you stay on task and explain the logic without making it too complex. Only great teachers can get that done!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thank you. I appreciate that!

[@griffinmonahan3963]

Just got into fly fishing this year, grew up in Central NY and now attending school in VT.. With such a dry summer we've been having I have found myself turning to your videos for tips and tricks, thanks so much keep it up!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

That's awesome! I hope they're helping! Vermont has some GREAT fishing!!! I am a little backlogged in editing videos but I crush a ton of nice wild trout with the caddis in an upcoming video! I'm sure you'll enjoy it :)

[@mikekennettk8891]

Great job

[@jedicazador]

Nice easy and effective

[@jaydehardt2441]

Thanks 👍

[@dirtfan115]

I’m new to fly fishing, and I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned from your videos. From one upstater to another, thanks a ton, I’m a spin fishing convert. Keep up the great work.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

That's awesome to hear! That's what it's all about! I'm glad you're learning from our videos!

[@garybenk]

Great fly, and easy too. Tied up a dozen.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Sweet!!! I hope they find some fish for you!

[@brucesoderberg1829]

Looking forward to trying it out in the water

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Cool... Good luck!

[@kevinmcclarigan8274]

the fly is great quick and easy to tie and catches fish Also really appreciate your "how to Euro nymph" series keep up the awesome vids on all you do

Nice looking fly. Just getting into Czech nymphing

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

This is a killer for any river with a good caddis population. It got me some really good fish last week!

[@MarzThe7]

Great work! Really enjoyed your videos.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the channel!

[@michaelmiller3846]

Looks awesome. Down here in the south "Louisiana" we don't have Caddis Larva but black front/ with green back is an AWESOME color combination...I'm definitely gonna have to get the materials and try to start tying these..

[@johnshand6176]

Nice and buggy. Well presented and an easy tie. Should work well down-under in NZ. Will tie a few up for the opening of the season on the 1st October. Thanks and keep up tying these nice practical fishy patterns.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks... good luck this season down-under!

[@ianrobbie5297]

Yes they do work here in New Zealand. Cheers

[@chasinbowsnbrowns3652]

Nice pattern! I’ll tie up a few 👍

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Definitely a standard pattern to have on most rivers!

[@VietnamWalkingTV]

Nice vlog. Thanks my new friend. Stay connected. Full support

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thank you!

[@thomasphilippi8674]

Love to see more Euro-type flies!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I will definitely be doing more! I'll probably try to get one in soon actually since it is fly tying season. I plan on doing some Euro Nymphing tutorial stuff as well!

[@firstfork]

liking the tying videos..

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks!

[@randycampbell3628]

new to your channel great fly and starting to euro nymph.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Awesome! Welcome! I hop you're enjoying the Euro Nymphing Series too!

Keep up the great footage in the West Canada Creek. Looking forward to seeing more Drone footage.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks... took some cool drone footage today on some brookie streams!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Hi John. We did the drawing this week and you are the winner of the flies! Reach out to me through here, facebook or Instagram and we can coordinate getting the flies to you! you can send me an email at [e-mail] or message me on Instagram @WhiteDogTrail. Congrats!

[@wildbrookies]

Always look forward to your videos.And especially excited even more now seeing that you will be incorporating your drone for aerial footage as well! That will really add to your videos! Keep up the awesome work,I will be looking forward to more vids in the future! Tightlines bud!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks... I LOVE the drone!!!

[@MrSofthackle]

Nice fly, I tie mine using a bright green sparkle braid on a size 16 scud hook and a 3/32” tungsten bead.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

That sounds pretty good! I think i have some sparkle braid that might work.

[@owencornell1095]

Great video keep it up.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks! Will do!

[@keithcline5084]

Tied up a dozen of these some sexy stone flies and some weighted zebra midges and headed to the River to give the euro nymphing a try. We don’t see a lot of stones in winter here but it got the flies down and was kick butt. Awesome day on the water! 12 to net in an hour and a half!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

That's awesome!!! Congrats on the success!

[@msorendo35]

Great video Bryan. I use this pattern a lot down here, and it is probably the one that has caught the most fish. I use pretty much the same materials, including the caddis hooks and bead heads. If you tie up some streamers, that would be very cool. Thanks much!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Hey Mike! I have a video planned for a streamer I tie specifically for small stream wild trout. It is a little more complicated because of the trailer hook but it might be the next fly tying video. I'm actually out of them and need some more so we'll see if I can get to it anytime soon. I have 2 small stream videos in queue that I need to get to including a great trip from today exploring a mountain stream in Vermont.

[@Snitchols]

I love the videos where you've tie flies. Maybe we can get together on my bass boat and we can put that new drone to use. If I win, spin again and give the flies to someone that will use them.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks Jason. I tie flies out of necessity! That way I can tie exactly how I use them and can adapt for the water I fish. I haven't bass fished in a while but I used to do a ton of it. I have so many plans and not nearly enough time!!!

[@lestergrigsby594]

Love your flies! show us anything euro nymph style , i'm still learning...

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks... I want to get a few more tying videos out this year. I'm thinking a perdigon next.

[@lestergrigsby594]

@@WhiteDogTrailCompany that is a great fly, can't wait for the video!

[@keithchessell6308]

Love the logic, simple & fast to tie but works.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks. I like simple flies that catch fish!

[@jamesvatter5729]

Not a big fan of drones, but have to admit they can really take a good fishing or outdoors video and make it great.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I fly mine very sparingly. It honestly takes time away from my fishing but I like capturing certain shots with it.

[@jmyd83]

flies look awesome I'll try tying them soon but need beads

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

The weight makes all the difference. Tungsten beads are key... not cheap but important.

[@dennischafin9160]

Nice probably a good standard fly to have . Could you comment on soft hackle flies and maybe tie one you would recommend.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

YES! I have been planning on doing more soft hackles... to be honest I don't tie them often but they add a lot of movement and are great in summer when waters are lower and bugs are moving around in the water! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Madmicksoutdooractivities]

Fantastic. Just subbed

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Awesome, thank you! I hope you enjoy the rest of the channel!

[@Madmicksoutdooractivities]

@@WhiteDogTrailCompany yes enjoy it

[@Droptineful]

Great video! Love the channel and would like to see more small stream blue lining.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

That's exactly what I'm doing today! :) Heading to VT now! Have another ADK small stream already recorded too.

[@Droptineful]

White Dog Outdoors Great! Good luck!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

@@Droptineful Definitely a good day today besides falling and bashing my pinky. That one hurt... but the fish made me feel better!

[@Droptineful]

White Dog Outdoors Sorry to hear about the injury. Looking forward to the video! Stay safe!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

@@Droptineful It's minor... probably will lose my nail but doesn't hurt to much anymore. Those small mountain streams can be dangerous with the miles of rock hopping you do... eventually a rock is going to move or be more slippery than expected. I fall literally every time I go...

[@tightliningmd]

Hey buddy. Love the drone stuff, can't wait to get one :) Maybe this Christmas! Cool tying video. Excited to do that hopefully in a month or so. Appreciate you doing the giveaway hats and flies. Very nice of you to do so. Thanks for the good content and quality of film/editing. Keep up the great work!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks Mike! Definitely appreciate it especially from someone like you knows what it takes to run a channel! Always enjoy your adventures too!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

BTW Mike... If you do get a drone I definitely would recommend the Mavic Air 2 if you can swing it. Packs up very small and really an incredible machine! I carry it all day long in a backpack with my other camera and barely even notice it's there. I did end up getting a bigger water proof backpack for it though... the LLBean Switchpack.

[@wildbrookies]

I actually tied up a dozen of your sexi Stonefly pattern with those cool legs and had a ball hooking many smallies on them! Haven't tried them for the trout thus far,given the terrible low warm water on our local streams, I ve been leaving them alone for 2 months now.But can`t wait to see how they like them as well this fall! Tightlines!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Cool! If there are stones flies or crayfish the trout love them!

[@mikerapeer4848]

Nice video! Maybe some more videos on your favorite nymphs

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks. I have a few more that I like that I'll be doing over the winter probably. I do have a few on the channel already that are my go to flies! If you haven't seen them my 2 all time favorites are the Sexi Stonefly and the Peacock Ice Dub Nymph.

[@jamesgaul3544]

SWEET

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Yeah... always have a row of these in your box!

[@aaronkinder1725]

More Lake George and Ausable. Love the flys

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Lake George once there is ice (let's hope for a better year this year!). Ya know I've only fished the Ausable twice in my life and I honestly wasn't a great fisherman when I did. It has been on my list though... gotta get up there!

[@johnelm7653]

I like do you use flies in the winter

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Yup... honestly same flies that work in summer typically work in winter too.

[@markgoodman218]

I would like to thank you for this fly. I tied mine along with yours. Easy, quick, and a good starter fly. I don't remember if I have ever seen them before. Do they work out here in the Northwest?

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Caddis are a VERY common fly throughout the world! They generally work well everywhere!

[@ronyingling8461]

New subscriber. Love the videos. Thanks for the giveaway

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks for subscribing! Hope you enjoy!

[@rickcampbell1833]

Very well done . Do you sell the flys you show how to tie? Rick

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks! I do not sell flies because I can barely tie enough for myself 😂

[@tomsorrell4423]

Would the clone technique work for legs, or do you not want the legs going back all the way over the back to the start of the body?

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I'm not familiar with the clone technique but I'll look it up later. With a caddis you typically only have legs in the dark part of the larva so I make the green body more clean and the dark head a little messy.

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Awesome pattern man! I have some similar but I want to tie some of these! No worries on giveaway you can send them off to another lucky subscriber, but maybe when we fish together next time we can do a swap ! Tight lines man

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Definitely! I love doing fly swaps! In fact 2 of my best patterns came from another friend and then I ended up tweaking them to make them the way I like. I actually did a fly swap with someone from the UK this year which was really cool! He was going to target grayling with them!

[@hfnotbob2629]

Would love to know what river and fish each tie is tied for

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

To be honest, these flies are pretty universal! Go to your favorite creeks/rivers and flip rocks and see what lives in the water. You'll find an assortment of nymphs/larva living on the rocks. If you see more small nymphs than bigger ones, use a smaller nymph... if you see the green wormlike ones then try this caddis larva.. if you see a lot of big nymphs then try something like the sexi stone!

[@nathanielchoate69]

Do you fish this mainly as a tag fly or a point fly?

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

It depends on the situation. If I'm fishing bigger, deeper water it'll probably be a dropper because I want a heavier fly on point, but in lower water conditions where I don't need a heavier point fly I can put it on as the point fly.

[@johnl3038]

can you build a starter kit for beginners . Please and thank you.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

You are not the first person to ask for that! I'm seriously considering selling tying kits to tie the flies I have on my channel.

[@johnl3038]

@@WhiteDogTrailCompany Well Sir when you do, go into that endeavor knowing you have your first customer right here awaiting its release.

[@ryanclancy4955]

I’ve heard that there are already some kings in and around Pulaski, just wondering your take on this

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

There are false rumors every year... people having fun messing with people. There have been no credible reports of fish in the river. Follow the DSR for real reports.. or Whitakers Fly Shop. The first legit fish is often reported by the DSR. From the sounds of real reports from the lake I think people are skeptical of a good run. It sounds like charter fishermen are not doing well at all... when they're targeting lake trout and not salmon you know the salmon fishing isn't good. You never know... either they'll show up or they won't. And we won't know until they do. :)

[@clayhannn]

Great fly design! I may tie a few and add some sort of short tail material to represent the anal prolegs caddis larvae usually have. This is a great channel, sir.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thank you! And that is exactly what I love about fly tying... you can adapt any pattern and make it the way you want!

[@waynebateman4699]
