*chuckle* the dislikes tend to come within minutes after I post a new video - it is like an ambush ;-) Glad you like the pattern and the video. Cheers, Hans W
I was looking for a caddis with more movement than traditional flies and this hit the spot. I have tied about a dozen since watching this just about two hours ago. I now have a nice selection of olives, gray, browns and tan...I will post up how well they work after i get a chance to get them wet tomorrow! Thanks and you now have a happy and loyal subscriber. PS...I love tying flies that take just a couple of minutes and are effective...nothing worse than spending 20 minutes on a fly that gets lost in 10 seconds,,,,
Deadly, deliciously easy to tie… this fly does very well for me in most seasons. Since viewing this tying video I've brought some nice browns to hand on my smaller home waters. This fly nows holds a place next to my Cal's Birds Nest and Whitlocks Red Fox Squirrel Nymph.
"After looking at the caddis pupa and larva I was using I came to one conclusion: They had little to no movement. Incorporating the properties of effective flies with the form of the caddis fly resulted in this solution: The Triple Threat Caddis. Fished as a nymph, bounced on the bottom of the stream or fished as a soft hackle in the water column, the results were immediate, trout took it! I had finally found a submerged caddis pattern that worked consistently, anywhere it was fished." Jim S
Hi Hans, Thank You for responding. What appliances can I find the dark red color wire in and does veniard sell that color.I noticed you had a strange looking spool in your video. Where does that come form Sorry for persisting it has just been very hard to find that color of copper wire in a small size. Thanks Again, Jared
Great looking fly Hans! I am guessing that triple threat means it can be effective fished 3 different ways? It sure seems like it would be a good fly to swing as well as dead drifting as a nymph :)
Hi nl311, Sub-surface or damp. With regards to this pattern and the Backstop Caddis - it is not an either/or proposition. They perform excellent in tandem, covering the water column from bottom to surface. Cheers, Hans W
Does the gray squirrel and fox squirrel materials come from Squirrel tails? in trying to find these squirrel materials on line I only found squirrel tails.
Bill, it is body fur. Full pelts can be purchased, as well as ready made dubbing. Or, as Jim Slattery does in his original pattern, simply use hare's ear. Cheers, Hans W

Thanks again. Liking the looks of theseand very nice demonstration.
Fantastic. There only thing that amazes more than this pattern is why 5 people found any reason to dislike it.

Glad you like the pattern and the video.

Could be that they find it too hard to do.
Wonderful fly Hans. Sucha simple recipe producing a great fly. Very well tied and explained. Many thanks for sharing.

gwallace,
You will find the pattern to be quite effective ;-)

Hi Ariel,
So nice to hear from you, and the good reports on success with the pattern.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Hans,
A superb fly, very effective.
I like your style of tying much, sparse is best for most flies, I think.
Greeting from Bavaria!
Great job on the Triple Threat Caddis, Hans! I can tell you first hand that this fly really produces.
Parachute Adams Thanks for letting me know 👍

That looks like a brilliant pattern. :-)
It is
Cheers,

It is still a nice pattern. I have always a few in my boxes.

Hi Arnoud - long time no talk....
The bortherhood of the flymph morphed into a forum called Flymphforum - and is a quite active place.
Cheers,

Super! Very nice fly! Thanks you.

I didn't know you were a fly tier. Go Jim

nice flye

Hi Hans. Do you fish this like a wet fly? Which is more successful the Backstop caddis? Or this one? Thanks for your comments.
Hi nl311,
Sub-surface or damp.
With regards to this pattern and the Backstop Caddis - it is not an either/or proposition. They perform excellent in tandem, covering the water column from bottom to surface.

Nicely tied Hans, as always. Are you still in touch with Jim? Is he still running the brotherhood of the flymph?
Does the gray squirrel and fox squirrel materials come from Squirrel tails? in trying to find these squirrel materials on line I only found squirrel tails.

***** Thanks for clearing that up Hans!
Nothing. This is the exact same video. Google decided to pull the first copy for reasons I still do not understand. No matter, life goes on.
hi hans,
where can you get the dark wire to tie a pheasant tail nymph
regards, Jared
Jared,
I have several sizes of wire - some purchased from Veniard, other salvaged from spools found in a variety of appliances.
Cheers,
Hans W
what was wrong with the first Video ?
