Tying a Tent Wing Apple Caddis

Andrew Moy demonstrates one way he ties a tent wing style caddis. The apple caddis, also know in Latin as a light Brachycentrus, is a prolific early season hatch throughout the northeast and especially on the Delaware and Beaverkill river system. When these prolific bugs are hatching this can be an excellent pattern on selective fish.
