i love it, been doing this with more deer hair pulled over as a bullet head, but love the idea of foam.
work of art again davie,joy to watch time and again
Another peach. Smashing pattern Davie, hopefully this weather will ease up a bit soon so we can all get out. Tied a few of those stretch rib buzzers from your previous video. Absolutely fantastic looking, can’t wait to give them a go. Enjoy your weekend pal
Beautiful work Davie
Thank you, these are the names of the fly I've been waiting for!!!!
Davie, Fantastic video. Many thanks
Thank you, Davie!
Very nice tying again. I enjoy watching your video and have learnt a lot for my own tying. Many thanks! What's the intention of the foam head on the Balloon Caddis. Does the balloon imitate a specific feature?
I've never tied them, but I believe that the "balloon" allows the fly to float low in moving water without sinking. The high-contrast color would also make the fly easier to track on the water's surface in those situations. If you were fishing stillwaters predominantly; where the fly tracks straight behind the fly line and subtle strikes are easier to see, you could tone down the color of the foam to better match the rest of the fly (if you wanted to).
.Wiedermal eine feine Fliege zum nachbinden . Dankeschön .
I did enjoy it, Davie. Thank you.
I've been trying to catch up from a time away from watching the ties. I noticed you aren't using the Tiemco scissors. Would you say what scissors you have now, please?

Hi Mike,
I took a chance and bought a pair of razor scissors off eBay and they are very good as you can see, I have attached a link to the seller I bough them from......I'm glad you liked the fly..
All the very best Davie..

Beautiful *bait* Congratulations:)👍🎣🐟🐠
Very interesting Fly. As always you turned out another winner. Have you fished this fly and if so how did it do? Best regards, Richard
Hi Richard,
I have fished the original Balloon Caddis that Roman Moser tyed and caught well both on the river and lochs, I do tye it for a few friends and the chocolate version is for one of them..It's certainly worth having a few in your box in natural, cinnamon and brown..
All the very best Davie..
Hi davie. Great tying as always. Can i ask what type of foam you use for the balloon caddis, is it polycelon or just normal closed cell foam ? .
Thanks.
Hi Eddy,
For these flies I like to use Veniards Plasterzote foam which I cut to size, I have attached a link to it for you to see..I'm glad you like the fly..
All the very best Davie...

Thanks a lot Davie, not just for all the patterns you share but for the time you take to reply to comments and share links to products. Can i also ask why there is no price on the link you have added. Is it for retail customers ? Once again thanks for all your time...
Verry good fly on the river liffey here in Ireland 🇮🇪
Fantastica... Complimenti
Very good. Fantastic.
Davie muschka super!!!
Think just found my new Welshman button 👍🎣🐋
Where will that be fished on the cast Davie??
Hi WeeManSham,
I fish it on it's own but I have friends that fish in Ireland and they are happy to fish it with other flies...
All the very best Davie..
The best 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌
Could I use this fly if boobies and fabs are disallowed?
Hi Robert,
If there's rules against flies with foam on them then you would have to ask first before you use them just incase..
All the very best Davie..
Here in the US, some waters are restricted to "flies only", some maybe to barbless hooks (to improve survival of released fish), and some by hook size and/or number of hooks per line (to discourage snagging), but why discriminate against using flies suspended above the bottom?
