ericlin0122 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I picked up this pattern from fly shop. Is there a specific name for this fly? Thinking of googling for tying instruction... if i have the time to spin deer hair. Quote
tgo Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 The body is pretty similar to a Goddard caddis. Maybe just follow those instructions for spinning the deer hair, then tie in the wing instead of hackle at the front? Quote
Gaffer Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Nice looking Caddis. Instructions should be pretty simple. Spin deer hair, shape bottom, catch fish. It reminds me of a modified Goddard Caddis, minus the hackle. Andrew Quote
troutsteaks Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I do believe that is called a Sedgehog. Quote
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 yah, hedgehog. Goddards have a dubbing body and hackle, this one is all spun and trimmed dh. That things will float for ever lol Quote
Harps Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Hedgehogs have a dubbed body with 2 or 3 hair wings and a spun and clipped head. Goddards have a fully spun and clipped body with a hackle thorax. Quote
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 oops, harp is right. I was thinking of a sedge pattern Quote
SilverDoctor Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I believe the Hedgehog is a traveling Sedge pattern. Its' a good one for BC lakes during those hatches. Quote
SouthBow Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I believe they call that pattern a Simple Caddis . Great imitation for Travelling sedges Quote
SilverDoctor Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 If you've ever seen those BC sedges you would think they where hogs. Quote
