[@Morenofly]

Nice tie Barry. Well done!!

[@duderoony]

Lovely little bug there Barry. I do feel confident after watching this video and I’ll have a go. Thank you for another one dude. 😊

[@Thefeatherbender]

No problem dude, hope it works out for you.

[@edmiller4149]

That was awesome, Barry. love the simplicity and the profile.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks so much Ed!

[@davidharrell2058]

Great technique. It's certainly an improved elk hair caddis. Thanks for sharing!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks David.

[@leonardwells9613]

VERY buggy Caddis, great CDC effect, excellent tie as always. Can’t wait to fish this one. L 👍🎣👍

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks and good luck with it Leonard.

[@leonardwells9613]

@@Thefeatherbender Barry with this pattern I honestly don’t think luck will have anything to do with it…well…maybe a LITTLE !!!! L 🤣🤣

[@mikef6114]

What an excellent tie!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Mike.

[@MyPancho1]

Quite the convincing caddis fly imitation to my eye and very well made. Nicely done Barry.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Gary.

I really like your version of this versatile fly Mr.Clark. Following along with you and tying this particular fly ( for whatever reason ) is almost like having a private class on tying Trout Flys that actually CATCH FISH ! Imagine that huh ? Thought I should tell you The Wife and I got super luck and were able to purchase a River Boat that can very comfortably sit 3-4 adults . An older Gentleman that my Father Fished with in Wyoming several times each year and they also made 1 pilgrimage each year to the Famous Snake River in Idaho to drift fish the Snake. Anyway sadly he came down with Cancer a year and a half ago and he put up a great fight for a guy in his late 80's but he lost his battle about 2 months ago. We were very lucky to purchase his Boat,trailer and all his fishing equipment from his estate in one lump purchase. The Boat is all set up just perfect so we couldn't be luckier at this point. Now Mr. Clark if we can ever pry you loose from Great Britain and get you across the pond to America.....there is NO Water in the West we can't fish....hint hint....? Your Friends, Randy & Tracie Hill

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Randy, once again a very kind offer. It was nice that you got to buy his boat and tackle and will put it to good use. Have a great fishing summer with it...

[@jamesvatter5729]

That one is definitely "PDQ." Thanks for sharing, Barry.

[@Thefeatherbender]

It sure is James.

[@kembroke]

Im fishing the River Tees next week, I will definitely have a couple of these in my fly box. A great looking fly, thank you Barry another masterclass in fly tying.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Excellent Timmy, let me know how you get on.

[@kembroke]

@@Thefeatherbender I will indeed, the conditions are looking favourable at the moment, so fingers crossed.

[@grahamkay8711]

nice really liked the technic with the CDC great job

[@Thefeatherbender]

Great pattern, Thanks for sharing Barry!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Glad you like it Kalle.

[@RockyPhillips]

Wow beautifully done and super fast

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Rocky.

[@mountaincreekfliesjimmy8386]

Wow that’s awesome and thank you for the lesson.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Jimmy.

[@Prostotakrybalka]

Hello my Friend! Beautiful tying 👍

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you very much!

[@noggin08]

Great video, well made and well described. My question is if you don't have a blade like yours to cut off the deer fibers, is it just a case of using curved scissors very carefully?And does it matter about the curve?

[@leemowers9395]

Thanks Barry, very nice.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Glad you enjoyed it Lee.

[@chris100pc]

Lovely fly.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Chris.

[@chris100pc]

@@Thefeatherbender , I made a copy of the fly and on the fourth cast I covered a rise and caught a lovely Derbyshire Derwent brown trout of about 2.1/4lb. As I said, lovely fly!

[@kurzhaarguy]

Brilliant, utilitarian pattern.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks. You got that right!

[@sebastiencastanet6453]

Super top ton montage du corps en cdc

[@Thefeatherbender]

Merci.

[@secondlife5704]

@The feather bender I love this pattern! I have a "Caddis Dun" color but in searching tonite, I can't find what you call a natural color. Barry, what color would you call natural...brown, light brown....? Thanks!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks, natural CDC is normally called 'beige' but its a grey brown...

[@TheAlex0026]

You're the man🤘

[@Thefeatherbender]

Why thank you Alex!

[@Begem0ttt]

Очень интересно, обязательно попробую. СПАСИБО🙏💕

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you.

[@richgrinham8684]

Love the look of this fly Barry! I’ve tried using sheer 14/0 but my bobbin holder shreds it before I can get a bed on the hook shank? Which bobbin holders do you use and recommend?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Rich, Sounds very much like you need a new bobbin holder! I use the Marc Petitjean TT bobbin, but they are expensive and not every tyer gets along with them. What I suggest is that you go as high as you can on your budget and buy a bobbin holder with a ceramic nozzle. I like the Tiemco bobbin holders, they are excellent and are reasonably priced. www.flytyingcompany.co.uk/tiemco-heavy-duty-ceramic-bobbin.html Good luck.

[@richgrinham8684]

@@Thefeatherbender well the tiemco arrived yesterday and has worked a treat! Many thanks again.

[@edmiller4149]

Awesome

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Ed.

[@biologistangler7901]

Nice, using CDC instead of dubbing for the body is probably better for buoyancy.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi, thanks, it works well.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks.

[@lastcoyote2355]

Great fly …. Only wish there was a river to fish it …..sad that the way things are going…. Make one wonder the future of fishing….

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Leonard, I know sad news all over I think...
