Fly Tying a Rhyacophila Caddis Larva by Mak

Very effective Pattern for River
Material List
Hook size 12-10 Curved Nymph Hook ,, Thread Black 8/0 ,, Body 1.0mm Clear Stretch Beading Elastic ,, Breather & Tail is White Ostrich Herl ,, Legs Pheasant Tail Fibre,, I have used a Permanent Black pen Marker for the Head

[@BF...]

That is perhaps the best looking caddis larva pattern I have seen...and so easy to tie. If you keep posting videos like this one, you are going to give Davie McPhail's youtube channel some good competition.

[@Makflies]

Lol,, Thank you Bret, I am glad you like this,, Davie Mcphail is a GREAT Tier , I really enjoy & learn watching his Video, Thanks for nice comment :-) Regards Mak

Barry Ord Clarke "The Feather Bender" another one worth a view.

Mak and Davie Mcphail are both great fly tyers. They are also great mumblers such that we can't hear the material descriptions. Just saying...

[@GregariousAntithesis]

This is exactly what i was looking for minus the antenna. From the pictures i have not seen the pupa with antenna. The rest is spot on, thank you!

[@Makflies]

Thank you friend, I know I have just added antenna for no reason 😊😊😊

[@gregorycox4578]

Your videos are such a pleasure to watch when I was much younger I tied flied for a couple of shops now I am to old and shaky to tie anymore you do great work

[@Makflies]

Thank you Gregory, I really appreciate that, I can understand , I am getting old myself, that's why I only tie on KZbin lol :)))

Это просто здорово, когда человек что-то делает в удовольствие, а не по каким-то другим причинам, и делится этим со всеми. Не понятно вообще ничего, забыл школьный английский, но всё ясно, всё чётко и аккуратно. Привет из Сибири!

Very nice work. You definitely made this fly look realistic. Great job Mak.

[@Makflies]

Thank you so much friend 😊😊😌

[@flytyer2368]

So many tyers ignore the importance of a smooth and proportional underbody. Yours are exceptional. You unwind your thread and go back over the shank more than any other tyer I’ve seen. By the way, if you are ever looking to purchase new scissors, I have a company that I use out of Pakistan that manufactures them and sells them at an incredible low price. Their quality is equal to Dr. Slick and similar manufacturers. They will also laser etch a logo on the scissor at no additional charge. If you are interested, let me know and I’ll email you the web address.

[@Makflies]

Thank you Fly Tyer, I really appreciate that, As for the a Scissors I have been to the place where it's all Manufacture, I have bought 20 of them lol,, but thank you for the offer, 👍👍👍

Hi Mak, great tie! I am just about to have a go at it myself. I was wondering though, as the fly is the other way up does the hook try to turn back around the other way?

Thanks Graham,, It should do,, but its doesn't make any difference if you are fishing fast water,, there are lots of patterns tied like this Regards Mak

Hi mak what is the name of the yarn you used and could you tell me where you purchase it from? Great pattern Jakub

[@Makflies]

Hi Jakub ,, When you says Yarn you mean Thread ??,, it is a Uni Thread 6/0, you can buy it from anywhere, if its Body material then its call Larva Lace , 1mm thick,, try on ebay there are lots of colours,, Regards

[@Elfin4]

Could you please provide a link to the clear tube you use

[@Makflies]

It's call ( Clear STRETCH Beading Elastic ) 1mm, from ebay

[@upsidedahead]

Do U have a shop? Your flies are great

[@Makflies]

Sorry friend I don't sell :)

[@james-lt8ry]

Is larve lace and stretch tubing the same thing ? Just a different brand name ?

[@Makflies]

It is almost same, I thing the tubing has hole like hose pipe, and the Larva Lace is a stretchy elastic

[@james-lt8ry]

So the lace would be better to use for makin the bodies then on this fly and when you see them used as other bodies too. Awesome channel by the way !!!!!

[@Makflies]

Thank you James, I believe so, I haven't had the experience to use tube, but I love the Lace 👍🏼 👍🏼

[@zenbooter]

Great video Mak. The tubing works fine and it can be used in a variety of ways. Checkout "Jack Gartside"
