WWKimba 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2022 Michigan Caddis - NOTE: This is how the fly is fished MINUS the vise, of course!

Hook - Mustad 94840, 6-10 Thread - black Tail - several moose body hairs Body -natural deer hair, tied parallel to the shank and flaired at the tail Rib - thread tied as a figure 8 Wing - grizzly hackle tips, tied tent style over the body Hackle - grizzly and ginger, mixed and trimmed on the bottom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWKimba 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2022 Michigan Hillbilly - Credit for this design goes to 3 brothers - Harry, Leon, and George - Martuck who were avid fly fishers in the '30's and '40's on the East Branch of the Au Grey River. Of the 3 brothers, Leon probably is the best remembered as the founder of the Scientific Angler's in Midland, MI. The fly got its name for a stretch of the river that ran through a local farmer's land - the farmer was respectfully referred to as the hillbilly by the brothers. Hook - Mustad 39840 (if you can find some!) or 94844, 8-14 Thread - black or brown Tail - brown hackle fibers Egg Sac - peacock herl Body - red chenille Wing - woodchuck hair, tied down and just beyond bend of the hook Hackle - brown NOTE: You will need to treat with a lot of floatant if fished dry or may be fished as a wet fly. May be tied with a yellow egg sac or yellow body and you may substitute fur or synthetic for chenille. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
