If ever there was a Master Class in fly tying then I've just witnessed it. That was bloody wonderful. Thank you.

Great demo, thanks. I've tied this for several years, but I couldn't get it as neat as I wanted. Your video and practice helped.

Very nice variant. I’m not sure when, “Goddard,” got attached to this. I’m mid 60’s and when I was a very young ladd it was taught to me by an old tyer in his 70’s. It was then called a Muddler Head. Done dark brown in 14-16 it was a go to for little black caddis. Thanks for the lesson, Charlie!

I just found a very interesting few paragraphs about the Goddard Caddis on a site called The English fly shop. Apparently Goddard wound a dubbing body and faired the deer hair just on top of the hook. The Goddard Caddis in all black is a photo on the site. But I like Your take on not tying the antennas. I tied a few up that look terrible....but know they will catch trout but not picky bluegills.

I just recently started learning to tie and have been very reluctant to try deer hair flies but this video really gives me the incentive to try. Mega Thx for all your video postings!!!

Excellent, great tip with steaming the hair
@GeorgeSemel4 жыл бұрын
I never tie them with the antenna either, I found that the tippet would twist while fishing. Now I like the addition of dubbing. I don't think the fish care that much, anything to make the fly look better proportionally and more durable I am for. My go-to size is a #14 and #16, I tie # 12 for the purpose of hanging a nymph off the back end.

Hey George, how's it going? Like you I tie some of these in "extra large" sizes - but I will go up to #6 and around 1 1/4 inches long for a buoyant "hopper-dropper" rig. I also use the large sizes mid summer - I often see a light colored moth running on the surface in the evening and the smallmouth bass go absolutely nuts chasing them.

@@hankvana2149 Well I am fine, I been tying flies every day with what I have. Can't go to the local ( for me a 60 -mile drive) fly shop. Other than needing a set of waders, it's ok, been downright cold for April and a lot of rain, more to come, this weekend.

Opps! I must have confused articles on the Goddard Caddis. It was Fly Fishing the Sierra website that had a cool photo of an all black Goddard Caddis. The English Fly Fishing Shop still has great historical info on the Goddard Caddis.

That's the way I have always tied mine, the only difference is that I use a stimulator hook. Funnily enough, ones tied with fluoro green dubbing outfished ones tied with hot orange dubbing by a considerable margin.

Simon peaked my curiosity, so I went back through my pre-60's reference books because something was niggling at my memory about yarn tied down before spinning and then bringing that yarn back under the body after hair trimming. I didn't find it, but Leonard and Leiser, et al, show just what we see here by Charlie. Simon, I'd be interested to know what the original called for. Regardless, this is damned sure close enough for government work! Nice tie, Charlie.
@jimfreeman36364 жыл бұрын
Alright, I finally found a reference showing the underbody. Mike Dawes The Flytier's Manual 1985. Dawes is an English tyer, so that might make sense. Green or yellow wool or seal's fur (of course - the ubiquitous seal's fur). I remember it being a pain in the butt to tye it this way. Like I said, good enough for government work, Charlie.

Thanks for video, very nice fly. Just wondering - any thoughts about using peacock herl instead of the peacock dubbing?

Would buying a cheap "pelt" be a fair way to buy bulk or would it be a waste. I'm still really new to all of this and I'm not exactly sure. I just don't want to waste $65-100 of that's all it will be is just a waste
@CharliesFlyBox8 ай бұрын
I’d advise just getting a large piece of deer hair rather than a whole hide. A 4x8 piece of deer will tie more Goddards than you’d ever want.

@@CharliesFlyBox lol not just for this piece but just hair practice in general but thank you I greatly appreciate the advice my good man. There's a place kinda close to me does deer butchering and I was debating on stopping by to see if they had anything they would be willing to part with. Again thank you for the advice
