Another masterpiece from Master Davie. Cadisses are my favorite flies as you know. In the Čech Republic we have about 250 (!!) different cadisses, therefore they are the best. As always tight lines 🎣 from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.
The pale feather you showed us looks remarkably similar to duck feathers I have collected while walking my dog! Was wondering what I might use em for! Now I know! Thanks!
What a great looking caddis. Just tied a couple of lines of these. The only tricky bit is getting the wing feather to divide equally on each side of the hook, but it's doable. For #16 and smaller it works well with those small partridge breast feathers. As an alternative body base that really floats, floating pp chenille works brilliantly.
I dont know how to leave cdc fibers loose on my desk. They blow away if I breath. I drop them in a jar. For dubbing. You did a great job again as usual.
That is probably the most brilliant, realistic caddis patterns I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love that. Now to try that in a 14 or 16. Do have the Great Autumn sedge coming up. That’s a 12 or 10. Thank you thank you!!!!!
Did enjoy it, Davie... thank you. Have you ever tied any of G.E.M. Skues flies... the ones he evolved nymph/emerger patterns for? Seems like they are similar to James Leisenring's flymphs. I think Leisenring corresponded with Skues... felt Skues was quite right about the fly type. Mike
What a fantastic looking fly. Loved the waxing the underside of the wing feathers. Are there any other feathers you could use to represent other sedge flies, eg the Grouse Wing Caddis or is that getting too fussy. Thanks
Nice easy caddis; I like to hear you say; just use the feathers we have on hand. I suspect this caddis is a good fish catcher, no matter the color of the feathers. Thank you Davie; for giving us confidence to tie any fly. Do you tie a fly using the cock pheasant “church window” feathers?
Hi Jon Allen, When you fish these flies and you see them on the river or on the loch they look so real and move like a real caddis, it is the wing that makes this happen,. I would certainly recommend having some in your box and I'm glad you like it.. All the very best Davie..
Appreciated the tip on using older wax for treating hen feathers, thanks Davie!!
Great tip about the wax on the feathers. This will help in my fly pins! Thank you!
Awesome use of material...beautiful as always, Mr McPhail.
Looking like a trout slayer, will be tying a few up for the box. Thank you for sharing, nice tip with the wax on feathers. 👍🪰

Good stuff!
Davie, great fly. Is there a particular advantage in using these wing feathers over just using some more cdc feathers?

All the very best Davie..
Very nice
I see a lot of people using 12/0 abd 14/0 thread now. Is there any real advantage to that?
👏👏👍👍
Misunderstood you…when you said “bird” I had to listen a few times to understand that Scottish accent! Hahaha😊👍👍
