Blues Brother 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2006 Looking through my nymph box I realize I'm definately lacking caddis pupa patterns. Right now I just have a Caddis hook with a bead head and buggy olive dubbing. Just out of curiosity what are some good ones to tie? Thanks. ~Bryce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevCompton 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2006 Maybe LaFontaine's Emergent Sparkle Pupa in olive; blackish; cinammon; grey; tan; brown. More often now I throw a brown partridge soft hackle between the body and the thorax instead of using a deer hair wing. Others: Czech Pupa Viking Pupa Iris Caddis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted November 28, 2006 Kev, What's the recipe for the Viking Pupa? It looks real good! John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevCompton 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2006 Hey hooligan, Viking Pupa: Hook: Knapek Barbless Hook (Czech Republic): Wet Fly #12; or similar barbed hook. Thread: Jan Siman's Hyperfine Thread: Black (2-stranded monofilament). Or a 8/0 (70 denier) thread. Body: Chartreuse/Green Crystal Antron Jan Siman Dubbing Brush; Clear Antron; few strands of Rusty Brown Z-Lon. Rib: Fine Silver Mylar Tinsel. Hot Spot: Red Antron Dubbing. Thorax: Jan Siman Thorax (deer hair) Dubbing, Brown. Of course, this all can be simplified but it's the way I first saw it tied by a Norwegian friend. Jan Siman's materials: http://shop.siman.cz/.
