Description
This is the second fly that I learned to tie. Although, it’s very simply, I probably caught more trout on this fly than any other. It mimics a Caddis larva but for the summer months it can be used for little inch worms. Works great on Valley Creek this time of year and I read recently a report that someone did very well with these on Saucon Creek. Throw these at any newly stocked trout and they’ll go nuts for it.
Materials
| Hook | Daiichi 1180 Dry Hook Hook Size 12 or 14 |
| Thread | Danville’s 3/0 Waxed Monocord – Green |
| Body | Green Chenille |
| Head | Thread, Peacock Herl or Bead Head |
Instructions
| Step 1: Tie the chenille right before the shank of the hook. Some people put lead wire on first for weight. |
|
| Step 2: Twist the chenille so that it creates a loop for the tail and tie it off. |
|
| Step 3: Wrap the body with chenille and then wrap a fair amount of thread for the head. Alternatively, you can wrap Peacock Herl for the head or simply use a bead for the head. |
