flytire 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2018 Melted Cased Caddis Hook - Nymph style Thread - Chartreuse Case - Root beer pearl chenille or crystal chenille Legs - Black hackle fibers Head - Charteuse thread UV Resin Tying note - The chenille is tied on at the hook bend, wrapped forward and tied off. The chenille is then melted using a lighter to create the case. Reattach tying thread and finish the fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
