How to tie easy elk hair caddis

what kind of hackle are you using?

Loved the demonstration, thanks.

Can I use a black hackle

[dirtTdude]

@Eddie35519 might be a thought... the hackle is typically simulating a bug that is flapping its wings in an atempt to break the surface tension of the water to make flight... so, what i'm thinking is that if you had overcast skies on a bright day with cloudy or murky water, black hackle might just be the ticket otherwise a fish probably can't see a light grey or tan hackle. I'm going to try it.

@dirtTdude Well it worked in my creek so tell me how it goes for you.

Very nice video Chris, thanks for sharing!

Very smart, very efficient. Especially the thread rib part. I would've used fine gold wire or tinsel. I've gotta try this technique soon.

I like the thought that this guy has of tying off his hackles with that thread tag end! :)

[snowboarddude117]

with this tying way yes u do...but if u attached your hackle at the rear then yes you do but the rib will make you hackle and dubbling stay in place and make them a lot stronger

[snowboarddude117]

lol nice vice... my speakers arent working that well but what feaher did u use?

[Oysterboiler]

That is one fancy hook vice!

Do we really need a sexy vice like that in order to catch more fish?

Great classic fly here. Fish go crazy for this buggy looking offering.

(This fly works no matter how fuckin' expensive your vice is)
