A very easy caddis pattern that I have found the fish are quite fond of.
I have used this and patterns similar to it with good results on the Tongariro but also works well in other waters as well.
The body span material makes the creation of the body of this nymph bery simple. If need be and you cannot get bodyspan there are a few other materials you can replace it with such as vinyl rib.
Play with the colors as well caddis nymphs come in a range of different shades of green, olives, browns and can almost be white as well.
I will also use the Kamasan b420 to tie these on. Generally though any hook that has a curve in it seems to work well.
Happy Tying Everyone.
MATERIALS:
Hook: Kamasan b110 or b420 size 16 to 10

You liked one of my flies on Instagram so that's how I found your KZfaq channel. Your flies are awesome! I'm looking at patterns for what to tie tomorrow. I have a spring hackle plier and still break partridge feathers with it, they are so delicate! This pattern really is similar to a partridge and olive north country spider with mole hair. I sure love to work with peacock hearl now that I've been getting the hang of it. I love how naturally flashy it is. Fly tying is such an expensive hobby haha. I haven't had a chance to catch anything on my flies yet, looking forward to that day, hopefully soon before next spring if I can get out to where the water is clean. Thanks for sharing your passion and your skill. Great video!

Glad you have enjoyed it. Yeah there are definitely some similarities. That's a shame about the hackle pliers not working for you. I use what I know as English hackle pliers and work a treat. Peacock Herl is fantastic. Definitely a favourite material of mine as well. All the best and hopefully I will have some more videos up soon. Cheers

@@southofnorthflyfishing It was just me learning that you have to be ultra light touch with the feathers. The hackle pliers I have are pretty awesome honestly, it's basically a ring, spring and then the clamp. The only real risk of breaking a feather is from human error. I've been thinking of making a video for some of my patterns that people seem to like. Right now I'm tying a hippie stomper, you'll see it on my instagram in a bit. Looking forward to seeing more of your ties.
