That's a great looking little fly! I'll have to make a couple and try them out. As always, thank you!

tasty bug Matt. On peacock bodies I usually leave the thread tag and and twist it and the herl together before wrapping the body. Good idea on the bright egg sack, subtle hot spot. Thanks Matt, have a good one.

It's got all the elements for a great fly. I'm surprised I don't see this one talked about more often.

Nice looking caddis pattern. I appreciate you sharing with us . Looks like a peacock version of an egg laying caddis . You definitely have a pretty awesome book collection.

Good morning Matt. ☕️. Interesting variation of the caddis. The caddis has produced well for me so far this season. I’ve not seen that variation but just within the guys I fish with we’ve had about 4 or 5 different variations but only one seemed to be “the one”. 😀. Enjoy the rest of your week and have a great weekend. I’m headed out for some Lake Trout fishing today.

Good looking fly. You can also add the same egglayer ball to regular elk hair caddis as a variant. That green ball would work quite nicely on the Penobscot especially if you pull the fly under water at the end of the drift. It mimics a diving caddis.

@SavageFlies Ай бұрын

Great note and you're spot on! In fact, when using this the last time out, I got a few fish at the end of the drift when pulling the line tight getting ready for the next cast. The tension pulled the fly just a couple inches under the surface and bam, they came up 3-4 feet for it. After the first time that happened (surprising me), I started doing it on purpose and it was a great tactic. :-)

I love the dry flies you show us, just wish I had trout around to give them a go.

@gemfaceter Ай бұрын

As a beginner fly tyer i have a problem telling if they are dry or wet flies unless listed.

@jscancella Ай бұрын

@4:38 - I actually pre cut my deer hair like Kelly Galloup suggests, that way when you put the wraps you don't have a mess of hair you are trying to trim and make look neat

Haha! Absolutely!! In fact, I've got another caddis dry for Wednesday's video. :-)

Good looking caddis matt tks 😊

@draco1157 Ай бұрын

Hi Matt, as always very nice pattern. I made a similar version and for imitate the eggsack I used a colored glass bead. Effect, the butt sinks a little bit in the water level and the glittering of the pearl is a additional attraction. Regards.

Thank you for the video, Matt! I was traveling and just got to the new video! Tight lines my friend! 😎🎣

Just fished the foam wing Caddis you had on the channel a while back. It slayed brook trout and cutthroats in Colorado’s Sangre de Cristos. Thanks for the pattern.

@SavageFlies Ай бұрын

Outstanding to hear! I love that little foam wing guy too. Since sulphur season has ended here in Maryland, I've been fishing a lot of caddis patterns lately. And I haven't been skunked in a while. :-)

@tompeterson559 Ай бұрын

I like the use of a chartruse egg sack. I'll tie up a few and give them a try next week!

@SavageFlies Ай бұрын

Hold off a day Tom and try Wednesday's pattern. It's similar but has a full body of chartreuse. And it worked pretty well for me on the Gunpowder last weekend. :-)

"A little ugly, but it's gonna do." 🤣 Not sure which part you thought looked ugly. Looks like a nice fly to me. But what do I know? I enjoy your in-process comments.

Hey Matt, you should try using some of that caribou for Caddis wings. Works for me. Like the pattern. Have a great week!

I have had good luck with caddis patterns with a collar hackle....especially the Chuck caddis i first tried after seeing it tied here. I'm not surprised the herl body caddis worked for you. I have had luck with a caddis pattern I found that has a herl and floss body like a royal coachmen tied on a curved caddis hook.....I call it my "Last chance caddis" as it has saved more than one day, especially at dusk.

@SavageFlies Ай бұрын

Great note Kevin! There's some other pattern called the Last Chance "something" but I forget what exactly it is. But I agree. In fact, tomorrow's fly is another caddis with a collar hackle. And it did pretty well for me last weekend too. :-)
