How to tie a EZ No Hackle Caddis Dryfly

Material list

  • Dry Fly hooks size 10 to 18 (these are 14 & 16s)

  • Dubbing, I use Bull Frawg Dubbing from flytyers dungeon

  • Deer Hair and 3/0 waxed Danville thread to match body


 

Instructions to tie the EZ Caddis dry fly

  1. Tie thread on, make a thread base and dub the body

  2. Rib body with spaced thread wraps. I match thread color to body

  3. Cut a bunch of deerhair. Pinch the bunch and clean the under fur

  4. Switch hands to even the tips and to place on the hook

  5. Hold the bunch pinched with your non thread wrapping hand.

  6. Do not let the bunch go, make 3-5 wraps to flare the deer hair tips

  7. DO NOT let the bunch go (KEY!) rough trim head, push back and wrap thread

  8. in front to secure the deer hair and whip finish


Easy to tie, easy see, and is effective all season. This classic guide fly is deadly, tie one on and let’s go fishing!
