Lucian.Vasies 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2018 Hi guys, I'm curious how are your peeping caddis. Years and years I used this fly. During time I modified the hackle position, dubbing texture, materials , profile and so on until I obtained the bellow model. I really love it, very easy to tie, durable and I consider it a trout extractor Where is a super fast current or a deep pool I put this fly and I catch a fish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucian.Vasies 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2018 and here is the light version of the dark one: Somebody told me why I put partridge. And asked me why I use so big hackle, there are no proportions there. I told him that he is right, the insect have just a big dark brown-black head and dark small legs. But I noticed that this peeping caddis catch more than a better imitation. Probably because the bright colors attract the fish, probably because the long Partridge legs work interesting in water cheers Lucian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobHRAH 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2018 Lucian Very nice! What's the dubbing? Any particular reason to use a jig hook instead of straight shank? thanks, Bob H Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucian.Vasies 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2018 Hi Bob, - dubbing is a mix of different natural and synthetic fibers: hare mask, squirrel, cricetus and purple, blue, white, red and green synthetic ones. - I use jig hooks because I have less snags between rocks. I use short nymphing technique and I like to play the nymph where I presume that fish are ( I play them and jigg them like we do when we fish with lures for bass - for example ) Thanks Lucian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
