How to - Tie the Deadly Peacock Caddis - Deer/Elk Hair - Tying Deadly Trout Flies

Tying Deadly Trout Flies - The deadly peacock caddis has been my most productive fly for the past 2 yrs, it has caught trout when everyone else was blanking. Fish it stationary in flat calm water. If there are fish cruising nearby just under the surface but not taking off the top, give it a short 3" tug to sink it as the fish approaches and hang on.
Materials-
hook - size 14 wet
black Uni thread 8/0
single strand black peacock herl
natural deer hair
ostrich herl-brown

This fly looks brilliant. It has all we need. I like the fact that you don't end up with that horrible 'lump' of cut ends overhanging the eye as so many elk hair patterns seem to have. It males tying on a nightmare. Love your clips! :-)

Nice buggy fly 👍. Got to love that combination of materials combined with the heavier hook to fish it like you do. You really got that dialed in. Thanks for sharing.

Looks great and buggy. Will tie up a few for my next trip to the Hangaroa River, New Zealand which has long stretches of calm water. Thanks from down under.

It looks like you are trying to emulate the caddis pupa. I grease all by a few inches of my leader, cast and let a wet fly sink, then slightly raise the rod tip to simulate a pupa coming near to the surface. The black caddis pupa are not black so many fishers are missing out. The flies I use are sizes 16 and 18 and work extremely well for the black caddis hatch. I prefer using soft hackles for the winging materials. I cast down stream wet fly style, the fly sinks a bit, the fly pulls under, the a raised tip will induce a hard strike! Ron

Good one to try, different to how this one works but I will give the technique a try 👍

Good call Chris, It's worth a try, you could also try replacing the ostrich with a soft hackle to give it more movement, Brian

Although it may have "caddis" in the name in my opinion its not a caddis imitation at all, or at least the fish dont take it as such. Its a great generic imitation of sth edible, sth buggy, those messy deer hair just give this fly this nice footprint in the film that is very suggestive of a struggling insects. Thats why this fly is effective under any condition and not only when theres a caddis hatch or sth

@thatdamnmackem 7 жыл бұрын

Yes I would agree, caddis are usually active in the evenings and this pattern works at any time of day
