Michigan Caddis Fly Pattern

Michigan Caddis Fly Pattern

Hook - Mustad #94840 or #94833
Size – #6 – #10
Thread – black 6/0
Weight – none
Tail – natural deer hair
Body – deer hair, spun and trimmed like a “Irresistable”
Wing – grizzly hackle tips, tied spent, in front of the hackle
Hackle – grizzly

Comment – This fly pre-dates 1970. The fly was tied and sold in Art Winnie’s shop. Some say that Art originated this fly, but there is no evidence to that effect. Trim the hackle top and bottom for the ‘hex hatch.’ Submitted by Tom Deschaine.
