Moose Mane Caddis

(Skunk Hair Caddis Variation)

Weight - Lead/lead free wire

Thread - Black

*Body - Black skunk tail hairs, twisted

Ribbing - Copper wire tied in at the head and wrapped rearward and then back over the body

Hackle - Soft black hen, one or two turns

*I didn't have skunk hair and not about to buy any so I substituted moos mane
 
Try different color bucktail for different color caddis

 

I saw a dead skunk in the road yesterday....I decided that I don't need anything that bad.
