The Winged Caddisfly - An Instructional Fly Tying Video
In today's video, we have a beautifully imitative Winged Caddisfly pattern that is sure to entice some explosive surface strikes from lurking trout below. It's currently smack dab in the middle of summer, and local stillwaters are prevalent with these winged trout treats.
This video will show you how to apply an ultra realistic and durable folded wing technique that will create the perfect bouyant profile on the water's surface. Use a full floating line with a long 9-12ft tapered leader. During retrieve, give the fly a slow, steady 6-10inch pull; just enough to create a "V" wake in the water. Pause...and repeat. In no time, you'll have hungry assassins from the depths below launching themselves at these helpless skeetering caddisflies.

Way too much effort for a simple scud.
Thanks for watching bud, appreciate it!
Mr B that is one sweet looking bug you did there. Im tying a few of these for sure. Thank You. Wish you well Brother.👍👍
Great job! I co-authored the book Modern Midges with Rick Takahashi and Rick taught me to use this method to tie the wing buds on his Crystal Chironomid. Love your instruction video and your wing buds are perfect! Thanks for sharing! Jerry Hubka
Wow Jerry that's such a great comment, I truly appreciate your kindness. I'll have to check that book out. I'm always looking to learn and improve. That's the beautiful thing about fly-tying and fly-fishing; it's a never ending learning curve! Thanks again my friend, have a great night!
I’ve been tying flies for 55 years. I’ve been tying chironomids 25 years. I want you to know that I learned something today. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
Wow Jim that's such a great compliment! I really appreciate you taking the time to not only watch, but to take the time to comment. Means a lot to me my friend, tight lines!
Another awesome tie. Thanks
@scotmclellan5190 thanks so much! I appreciate your kindness more than you know, cheers my friend!
Wow that looks like a killer fly, unfortunately I don’t tie my own flies 😢 anyway thanks for sharing from Scotland 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@flyfishingbandit9394 thanks so much for taking the time to comment! That means a lot to me, especially coming from Scotland too. You guys sure know a thing or two about fly fishing over there! Tight lines my friend👊
Really love the fly. Have you fished the pattern in rivers and streams or only Stillwater? Love the name of your channel too! Clever!
@deltadeltas4558 haha thanks so much! I have fished chironomids much in rivers or streams. Not because of their effectiveness but where I live, I'm surround by countless Stillwaters and our River opportunities are limited. First world problems though I guess right? Hehe cheers my friend 👊
Brilliant fly pattern will definitely be tying this one !
@justinmcquaide4862 thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment Justin! Cheers my friend 👊
Ты как никто адекватен. Снимай ещё по возможности. Нравится, смотрим. В чате состоим.
Brilliant 👍
Good morning guys. Great little pattern you have there. I really like the braided marabou tail technique, that’s the first time I’ve seen it in 30+ years of tying. Hey, if someone struggles when tying this fly, does it become a damsel in distress? Thanks for showing us and have fun!
Hahaha best comment! Thanks for taking the time to watch and make me laugh. Cheers my friend 👊
good fly) i use this one too, only without any legs
Outstanding! Thank you!
Very nice, thanks for the instruction
This fly just keeps giving. I've tied plenty to keep the fish coming. A few colour variants and dropped down a hook size, Right now the fish are happy to smash it right off the top with gusto. As you can imagine the tail eventually suffers and becomes detached from the main body. Not to be put off, noticed the now shortened fly had a very slow sink rate . Decided ok , lets put a couple of casts out on floating line just to see what happens. It still works. Let it sink 10 to 15 seconds and start a slow retrieve with a couple of sharp tugs. Bingo, your back in business. Absolutely epic. Super fun. I have tied a few for my friends and dished them out. So cheers my friend for such a stonking pattern. Every days different. That's fishing. Have fun.
@alanmarshall7045 haha I just love it Alan! Thank-you for sharing your excitement and for spreading the love to your friends. I so appreciate you taking the time to comment, cheers brother 👊
Nice job.
This is insanity how real that looks! Im subscribing now! This channel and The Fly Smith make great lures! Wow
Wow that is such a nice compliment! Thank-you for your kindness and taking the time to comment. It's been a busy spring fishing but I hope to get out more content here soon. Cheers my friend!
@@tyingismyvise you're welcome. Keep up the great lures. It's therapeutic and soothing to watch.
Great video 👍👍👍
Awesome. I'm looking at this straggle right now and needed to see if this is indeed what I want
How do you like to fish it?
These can be pretty deadly fishing on an intermediate or type 3 sink depending on desired depth. Strip, strip, strip as fast as you can with moving the fly as little as possible if that makes sense and then pause. It's the pause that typically generates a strike. Good luck out there Devan and thanks for taking the time to watch!
What can I say. Ding Dong. Tied a couple up and hit the water. Fished it on an intermediate line and 1st cast instant hit . 2nd cast boom , in again. The interest in this pattern was epic right up until I lost half the tail due to not using flexi UV. All I had was the normal hard UV. I now have the Flexi, I trimmed the tail down to tidy the pattern, but that was it. Interest stopped. So , it's back to the bench to rack up a batch and bring it on. Tight lines buddy. Regards Alan
This has to be one of my favorite comments! Haha thank-you Alan for your words and not only taking the time to watch but to write that great feedback! Such a lethal pattern and I'm so glad it worked well for you. Cheers my friend 👊
Nice looking fly and great video. Were you putting resin on the wing buds as well as the body?
Very clever imitation, credit to you. I fish a water that has an abundance of Blue Damsels and Dragonflies. So the water must be crawling with these nymphs. I generally never miss getting a fish to the net using the blue flash damsel pattern, but I'm definitely going to tie up a batch of these as I find the fish switch to terrestrials after being stocked within a couple of months and the takes get less and less. So with these to entice them. It's game on. Cheers, Have Fun.
I like the colors on that. Thank you for sharing & giving good instructions.
Thank-you for watching and taking the time to comment! I appreciate your kindness my friend 👊
@@tyingismyvise You're welcome
Hope you’re fishing that on sinking lines hahaha
Type 7 or bust💪🎣
fucking epic
Hahaha love the enthusiasm! Thank-you my friend👊
Hey, cool dragonfly nymph! Tricky but not too tough to tie - you certainly make it look easy. How are you presenting this fly and making it move to get a take? Thanks for sharing the neat new techniques.
Haha you're so welcome Tom! Thank-you for taking the time to watch and to comment, I appreciate your kindness! For the presentation I find good success fishing this on aa Type 7 sinking line either stripped or crawled right off the bottom. It can also be successful on a floating line if they're taking dragons off the surface in the shallows. Cheers my friend 👊
Cheers. I’ll be giving this one a try in the future.
strong work. thank you.
Did you stretch the asb strip immediately before tying in? Great video.
Amazing tie! The asb really matches the plastron respiration of the pupal skin. Can’t wait to tie some myself!
Wow that's just an awesome compliment! Thank-you for taking the time to watch and comment! Hope you have an incredible 2024 fishing season my friend 🤝
Beautifully done!
Nice fly but? Do you do them smaller or this is the size you fish ?
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I'll tie these on Scud Hooks sizes 10, 12, 14, and 16 and also on Curved Nymph sizes 12, 14, 16, and 18. For my local stillwaters this has the vast majority of chironomids covered from early ice off until late fall. Cheers my friend 👊
@@tyingismyvise thanks , maybe you can show us how to do it on a 16 or a 18
well done.. but the ASB's I tie are far less busy and very effective. But a good tie none the less.
Awesome, impeccable attention to detail
Aw thanks Rory! I appreciate your kind words and taking the time to comment! Cheers my friend 🍻
Great lookin fly!
Thank-you so much! Appreciate your kind words!
Very nice!😊

That is absolutely next level!
Thank-you very much for the kind words Don, that sure means a lot to me. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, tight lines my friend 🤝
My friend this is one of the best pattern I've seen. The only different thing i do is at the end i use a rust colour thread for the thorax. Thank you for the great tutorial...
Aw thanks for your kind words Dave! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and to comment. Ooo yes that Rusty Brown thorax is a deadly addition! Tight lines to you this season🎣💪
When anyone says helicopter 🚁 now , it reminds me how I made my girlfriend laugh when i tied flies naked ...
Beautiful chironomid.
Aw thanks so much man! Appreciate your kindness and taking the time to comment👊
Do you sell them? If so, where?
At the moment I unfortunately do not sell my flies...I can barely keep up to fill my boxes haha. Thank-you for commenting though, I appreciate it!
