X Caddis by Charlie Craven

The X-Caddis comes from Yellowstone fishing guru Craig Matthews. Craig is the guy who brought us the Sparkle Dun and a host of other effective patterns, trademarked by their simplicity. The X-Caddis is no exception, and can be whipped out by the dozens! I like the X-Caddis in smaller sizes, from 18-24, although it certainly holds its own in bigger sizes as well. It imitates a caddis with the shuck still attached, but I think its general profile can match many different insects in various stages of emergence..in other words, it just looks like food! Tie some up and see what you think.
Materials:
Hook: #14-24 TMC 100 SPBL

Thanks, Charlie. Beautifully tied, perfectly proportioned; not a single unnecessary thread wrap. Hope you keep these videos coming.

If you ever fish the Provo River, this is the best pattern when the fish are KINDA rising. They RARELY ever rise all over the place, but they'll come up for this occasionally, and will always eat bloodworms.

Dubbing looks like a natural rib w/o adding a rib. That is the dope sheyit.
