CADDIS PUPAE



One of my favorite and enjoyable fly to tie. Takes a little patients but believe me its worth it.

Materials 
Hook#12 (TMC 2487BL)
Tungsten Bead Head
SLF PRISM Dubbing 
SOW SCUD Dubbing 
Vinyl Ribbing 
Scud Back 
Goose Biot
Pheasant tail 






Insert the bead head and dress the hook almost half over the bend


Tie in some vinyl ribbing 


Twist some dubbing on your thread 


Wrap the dubbing and be sure to create a nice taper


Wrap the vinyl ribbing to protect the dubbing and create the body segments. Be sure to wrap it the opposite way you wrap the dubbing


Tie in the scud back 


Tie a pair of goose biot on both side of the hook


Wrap more dubbing for the thorax and tie a pair of pheasant tail fibers 


Pull the scud back forward and tie it down. Trim of excess and you're pretty much done ..... but


You can also put some epoxy on top for a better look . 

This is not a 100% accurate imitation but it was inspired by the real thing and it does the job . 

HAPPY TYING :)
