Marvelous combination of materials, and execution.


More please...


PS - I am really digging these Dohiku hooks. Where have you been sourcing these?

Ray,

I got these hooks from Tactical Fly Fisher. They are mainly used for European nymphing but I like them for soft hackle flies as well.

great pattern....... we see many patterns posted here and elsewhere, but this particular one is outstanding. Dohiku makes a decent hook, I buy mine from the Dette Shop.

Very well done!

Confidence-inspiring. I'd fish that, right quick.

That would kill in the early morning on the Madison. Nicely done.

That Seal knows how to hunt. Finds the most bestest flys.

Newriverspey,

Like the other members who responded to your post, I like this fly.
I was surprised when I saw the picture; it's not what I expected to see
when the title of the post was: Black Caddis. I was thinking, black body,
black hackle--a mostly black fly.

Does this pattern darken a lot when wet?

Thanks- Ken

Very nice! Love the proportions and the color/textural effects. This looks very fishy and worthy of pattern theft!
