Barry, How did I miss this before? What a great pattern, I love it. I guess I was distracted by a short medical break I took a week or so ago.... Thanks
IDK. I'm really struggling. Lol Lucky for me, my local fly guy ( buy my materials ) bought your book after hearing me talk about it. His look just like yours. And mine, well, let's just say they are not even close.lol I'm only one year into it. And everything in fly fishing to go along with it. I've been blown away. But, I will get it to my liking some day. Your instructions help alot.
Thanks dude, you have to try and get to one of my demos when things get back to normal, I do about 20 international shows each year. Then you will learn deer hair techniques.
Thanks N. The singeing of the deer hair has several effects. It gives a smooth finish to the trimmed hair, it tightens the spinning on the head and makes the wing lie flat instead of flaring out.
Interesting, basic pattern, thank you. I do wonder why you don't use another classic elk-hair caddis technique; wrap the hackle from front to back and hold it in place with a counter wound rib. If you used a black rib, you'd get your black ribbing and could use any hackle you'd care to (silver badger is sometimes hard to get hold of).
Thanks Ira. Well only because its a different pattern with a different technique, although if I am tying dry flies for fishing, I don't like adding extra weight with wire I prefer to use fine mono.
Barry, thanks for the answer. I agree that I want my dry flies to be as light as possible, but Oct caddis are a little different. I live in the PNW and fish these guys just about every year. I find that fishing them as damp flies, just under the surface or in the surface, works better that fishing them as high floating dries, so the little bit of weight from wire is actually a help. I do enjoy your vids, and the techniques in this one are very useful -- just with a different fly (for me).
@@ias400 Thats really interesting Ira, during the summer I fish my adult caddis high & dry but at the end of the season, Sept/Oct the fish seem to prefer them slightly under the surface and fished with slow long pulls!
And this folks is how you take an established pattern and tie it in the most perfect manner possible. Hot Damn that's nice!
Thanks S.
Great tie and great looking fly. Thanks again for these very instructive videos.
No problem Sputnik, thanks.

Hi Gary, thanks. I hope all is well with you now?
@@Thefeatherbender Thanks, I am still kicking so I can look forward to mending my line for a while yet! I still have many streams to wade...
I think this is the one I tie today. I love the colors plus it gives me deer hair practice. Thank you sir for this awesome lesson.
Thank you Jimmy, stay safe.
Gotta love this fly!!! Thanks much.
Thank you!

Great fly. Tanks Barry👍
Thanks Anders.
Nice fly, thank you
Takker Kjell!
That’s a fine caddis pattern there Barry. I just wish I could master that damm hair! lol. Thank you for another one dude.

Wow … just wow …
Thanks.
No Sir, thank you. And Stonfo should thank you because I just bought their hair packer and razor holder because of you.
Beautiful
Thanks Mike.
is that razor holder a eyelash tool for the ladies?
Hi Randell, no its a STONFO razor blade holder for fly tying.
What brand razor blade do you use? They seem to be very sharp.
I use 'Derby' blades and buy them in bulk from eBay.
The feather bender ok thanks for the reply
Fine jeweler
Thanks Geo.
😎
Nice way to tie hackle. Thanks for sharing your technique as always. Just today I fished with caddis fly all day long.
Why do you burn deer hair edge?
Thanks N. The singeing of the deer hair has several effects. It gives a smooth finish to the trimmed hair, it tightens the spinning on the head and makes the wing lie flat instead of flaring out.
The feather bender Thanks for your reply. Understood. I guess smooth wing prevents fly from spinning when casting, resulting less tippet trouble.
