Simple, clean and designed to float high without a lot of floatant, this is a cool way to use foam--wrapped as the body.
Probably will catch some trout and certainly pan fish.
Keep it simple.

Internet Fly Tying
Not sure what motivates you to tie a new fly, but as I cruise the intertubes, I see many great patterns that just need to be tied. One came across my screen today called the Razor Foam Caddis from Hatches by James Spicer of Colorado Skies Outfitters.

Not sure what razor foam is, but it probably costs an arm and a leg in the local fly shop, I resorted to my stock of craft foam from Michaels. Cut it into very thin strips and wrapped it for the body. Tied both black and green bodies and used hackle at hand -- a grizzly black and yellow, one with a blue dun genetic.

Keep it simple.

Looking good...should be a productive little bug
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sanders. Hope to try them out your way this summer. Any suggested go to patterns for the Poudre in early July?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're coming out! July is a great time of year for PMDs...you'll also want some hoppers and larger attractor style bugs (stimis, pmxs, etc..) you're also always going to be catching fish on smaller midge patterns...pupa and emergers. give me a shout before you come out and I can fill you in better, and let you know what to expect
