CCG Caddis flies

It is warming up a bit and I saw my first Danica of the season on Wednesday.

I have a boxful of Danica which I will be overfilling in the next few days.

Meanwhile I have been getting my motor functions back tying dry caddis flies

Hooks are size 16 to 10

Bodies are hare'sear dubbing with optional hackle ribbing

Hackles are cock hackle over hare's ear or just hare's ear picked out

Wings are partridge or grouse set with a layer of Clear Cure Goo

then cut to shape.

The box and its contents are destined for a friend,
