Step Tying Instruction
Step Tying Instruction
1 Start thread behind hook eye and wrap thread base to above hook barb.
2 Dub a tapered body forward to one eye length behind the hook eye.
3 Return the thread to the 1/4 hookshank point.
4 Tie in the hackle.
5 Tie in the wing material. The notch of the “V” should line up with the end of the body.
6 Wrap the hackle a minimum of 3 wraps and tie in and cut off excess.
7 Whip-finish using a minimum of wraps.
8 Cut the point of the wing material even with the hook point.
This creates the head, e.g., Elk Hair Caddis style.
9 Cut a “V” in the bottom of the hackle so the fly will float lower in the water.
