Beginner's Fly Tying Series - Original Patterns: The Diving Caddis

This is a pattern of my own design which is meant to imitate the egg laying females of the Hydropsyche genus of caddis. The common names for these caddis are Spotted Sedge or tan Caddis. Use this fly anytime we see females flying at the surface of the water and remember to fish it in the riffles.

Great Job! I appreciate the information as well as the excellent camera angles of you tying. Thanks for sharing!

Cant wait to try this out! Thank you for sharing one of your secret patterns ❤

Great fly, and very well made video. Nice work.

One of the better put together instructional videos. More than just how to tie, but a bit on how to use and where, even how it is a specific type of caddis. Very well done, hope for more videos like this.

Yep, the more a fly gets chewed on the better it fishes, it took me a long time to just tie them a bit ragged from the start! I like this one a lot! Then again I like quick easy fly patterns!

Yup, it's amazing how often that is true. The beat up flies catch the fish. The trick is to fool that first one with the new fly. :)

Nice tie...I tie one as well though I like your version!! Thanks

I thought Gary Lafontaine invented and originated this fly from his book "Caddisflies"

[@hooked4lifeca]

Same concept, different execution. Keep in mind that a sunk EHC does the same job. The concept is not new.
