Rhyacophila

[DUBBN]

I used the technique that flyfud2 used for his Rhyacophila caddis larva, and that I use for some midge patterns.
I will use them tomorrow in a 3 fly nymph rig, as an attractor.

Hook - Wholesale Fly Company model 13, size 16
Thread - Veevus 16/0 Black
Body - Chartreuse Midge Tubing
Thorax - Ice Dub, Peacock Black
Collar - Brown Hen
Legs - Brown Partridge
Head - Tan Ostrich

The more I look at them, the more I see a generic Graphic Caddis



I had no Chartreuse tubing for this fly for yesterday so I improvised.

Chartreuse thread body, Copper rib, and Yellow tubing over that.

I managed a couple trout on it, but most fish took the midges.

Well done Wayne!
I like both patterns and I think John Barr would not mind.

Thank you Lou.

I was suppose to be on the river right now trying them out. A high wind advisory was issued for the area. So, I am staying home, tying, vacuuming out my truck, and organizing my work gear for my return next week.

I threw a few Euro patterns together using the same body technique.

I am liking them very much.

These are tyed on a size 10 Mustad egg hook.

What is this 'vacuuming out your truck' event that you speak of? It has the faint wisp of heresy to it.

That was after he used a snow shovel to clear all the fast food wrappers off the floor of the truck.
I would be checking that vacuum bag before disposal as I'm sure there would be at least a dozen
flies that got sucked up too.

A few nymphs on the generic side.

Is the lighter colored one tyed with aftershaft feathers? I really like the look. Should be a very lively fly.

Both are tyed with the fluff on the base of chicken feathers. One is natural, one is dyed (black).
They are very lively and suggestive.
