Flat Rock native 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2017 My Nelson's Caddis are in the mail. This fly is not named by or for me. Nelson's Caddis was featured in Fly Fisherman Magazine in the March 1987 issue, pp 34 in an article by the late Michael Fong. Nelson Ishiyama is the owner of the Henry's Fork Lodge. I have a copy of the article and would be glad to mail anyone a copy that would like one. I have probably caught more fish with this fly than any other in my fly boxes. Will take a copy Bob, It pre-dates my collection... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carpflyguy 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Mine are in the mail as well. Should be there soon. I went with a balloon caddis, nice and high floating and tested out a new really buggy dubbing for the body. Hope everyone likes them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicente 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 What kind of dubbing did you use? I just picked up a bunch of dubbing from FTD, love the prices I think I got 19 packs of dubbing and some flashy stuff for 23 bucks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 FTD has a dubbing that is the most wild and wooly of any I've used. It is either their Kraken dubbing or the Krap dubbing. I just know using it in split thread loop it will do a bugger body with(out) hackle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicente 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 I used the kraken on my butte ugly buggers. I like the super kraken as well, I used it chopped very small for my caddis larva heads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FTD needs to use V's buggers in their promotions for Kraken. They have a simple, yet elegant appearance- testament to tier and material. Just good paint in an Artist's hands!

I just picked up a bunch of dubbing from FTD, love the prices I think I got 19 packs of dubbing and some flashy stuff for 23 bucks. This was some sort of Tyers Dungeon dubbing. I'll get back on the name. Not the buggiest Ive used per se, but it has micro rubber strands and such in it that I think it makes for a good caddis. I'll be trying it on caddis nymphs next.
