Fly Tying

Thread: UTC Olive G.S.P. 100
Body: 2mm Tan foam
UNderbody: Hare-line Ice Dub Caddis Green

Simple and effective pattern that is easy to tie and catches fish because of its multi-buggy looking profile.

Nice, that looks super-buggy, and probably floats like a greased a cork. I'm a big proponent of two-minute ties. Anything I can do to get the time per fly down, I jump on it.

Thanks Brennan, It does float really well. I like how it has multile profiles to trigger a response from fish below and good visibility above the water.
