Tying with Hans- Hydropsyche Caddis Larvae

For materials visit our Webstore: shop.flyfishsd.com
This has been a solid producer for me in areas with good populations of free swimming caddis larvae.
This pattern is very similar to the caddis patterns of Oliver Edwards. Thanks for the great tips and instruction Oliver!
The legs are a great addition to any caddis larva pattern, or stoneflies and clinger mayfly nymphs.
Happy Tying

Hey Hans, on a whim I rewatched this video today. I remember when you posted this a decade ago and I tied some up. To this day, it's still my go-to hydropsyche pattern here in Colorado. So thanks again for sharing it!

Great, a tip of the hat to Oliver. I couldn’t agree with you more about his skills.

Awesome fly Hans! Love the legging technique.

@hansrcsd Absolutely fantastic video my friend. Perfect distancing from the fly with the camera. Thanks again. I really like the leg idea.

very nice hans

[@WdyMr2]

I like the legs idea, sorry, but I am stealing that one!

[@paulkasputis5978]

Hans I really like the leg thing Thanks. One thing I have been doing is using more subdued colors - but a chartreuse wire for a rib.

Ostrich herl is tan and the scud hook is a size 10.

The emergence dubbing I used for this fly is synthetic. I believe it is antron. Their natural dubbings are wool

Muy buena imitaciòn laboriosa por cierto yo la ato en anzuelo 14 màs grande no me toman Los rìos son muy trasparentes y pequeños, Y nuestras truchas cortas de vista màs pequeñas son menos errores se notan!! ja tipet 6 x o 7x En la Patagonia es otra cosa, allì estoy de acuerdo en 10 no hay problem. Excelente su mosca. saludos Còrdoba Argentina

This is a super realistic pattern and I especially like the legging technique. I would like to incorporate it into some of my other patterns. However, I have tried relentlessly to learn how to do the legs and they always come out terrible. You make it look easy! Can you offer any pointers, besides just practice, practice, practice?

[@StephenTheHeathen624]

great fly but where i live caddis are a darker olive color so i use olive green instead of bright green
