You had the best videos. This is my opinion. Thanks !!!
Absolutely, the most detailed tutorial of how to tie a fly, I have ever viewed... unbelievable! THAN YOU!
Kenneth, can't reply directly to your comment (the linked comments from Google+ are driving me nuts). But, anyway split thread vs dubbing loop is really a matter of personal preference. For this application I like the split thread better because you have more flexibility with getting the dubbing noodle the correct length. With a loop, you're kinda locked in. I like using the dubbing loop for coarser materials, even deer hair. Two full strands of tying thread really let you crank the pressure on while twisting.
You make it look so simple. And this technique is. I am sure it will catch as good as your ribbed/first type.
Love all your videos. Your clear instructions makes them very nice to watch. Also: great camera you use.
I have been a professional tattoo artist with a very steady hand for more than 12 years now and I honestly thought this might give me some kind of edge when it came to fly tying but my God this has been an eye opening and humbling experience trying to tie my own flies hahahaha one thing I found that was similiar with tattooing and fly tying is that it is often the simple ones that are the most onforgiving.
this fly is simple but ingenious cant wait to try it
Very nice the tying is so simple ,looks like it will do the job .
ALWAYS great vids !!
Really nice technique!
I've watched every video you made! Everyone of them are very helpful.Ive tied some of them like the green caddis larva. IT WORKS! LOVE your vids. Tight lines
Very nice videos! Make more!🙏🙏
nice video...thanks for the example!
GREAT Idea!
Excellent, thanks.
I love the patterns simplicity. I found that I had ran out of the second dubbing color. So I got to the switch point and pulled out the good old black sharpie and finished. It’s almost easier!
Thanks for the share!
Very sweet !
So........is the version a winner? Is it outfishing it's predecessor? Due tell Tim. Thanks
for a different fly could i use a czech nymph hook with a bead head, i was curious just because of the different shape
do you think a bead will take away from the realistically of the fly
Also what size would you recommend to use on the Ken Lockwood Gorge
Отлично получилось.
well, does it work for you, @tightlinevideo?
Now that you have fished this a few years how did it produce compared to your previous tie?
I'm assuming you use split shot when tying this on to your line? I often wonder if beads and lead wire are even necessary, and it would be enough to just tie nymphs without them and just use split shot to get them down.
That worm don't need lear wire?
Without weight it goes to the bottom?
Thanks!!
Any reasons for splitting the thread instead of using a dubbing loop?
Nice
I tie religiously with the Split-Thread technique. It's opened up so many tying possibilities for me. Please let us know maybe by a follow up video on this Caddis how it's production was on the water??? Big thanks.

Yes, I too love the split thread technique. I ran out of time making the video but wanted to say that you don't have to split the thread a second time for the head, just insert a clump of dark brown right after the last green clump (makes the tie much quicker). I'll let you know how the pattern works.
@@tightlinevideo so how did it work?
So how did it fish?
where do you buy dogg Inga to fly,
Just watched your Green Caddis Larva video too. In the other video you added weight to the fly. But non in this one. Do you think the fly will sink well enough without any added weight? Even the wire wraps would add a little weight. Love watching your videos. Very easy to follow. Keep up the good work.
Cheers, Neil.
This fly, and its predecessor are meant to be fished behind a weighted fly or with weight added to the tippet in front of them. I don't add weight to the fly itself to keep it neutrally buoyant and moving around more naturally. Glad you like the videos, thanks for watching.
tightlinevideo do you just use a split shot sinker to add weight in front of the fly
sam posewitz I fish it in a tandem rig behind a weighted fly.
what do you call that cutting tool on a post that you snip thread with?
See the following czcams.com/video/IIelGE5kJ6M/video.html
wow
I am really curious did this caddis patern is better than the one with wire?
Yes, for me it has. This is now my go to caddis larva pattern. In fact, just about to tie some right now.
Is this version working better/same/worse as your previous version Tim?
Brooktrout Angler Honestly, I don't really know as the new version is all I've been using for a while now, to me it just looks better, and more realistic.
Very Nice video ....
Can you split the thread that is 8/0 like you did in the video.?
You can split any thread that can be flattened out. It takes a little more patience with really fine thread, but it can be done.
Okay thanks
Do you think this would be a good fly for stocked rainbow?
+Cole Wolfe Most likely, yes. The stocked rainbows I fish for were stocked as yearlings. This means by the time I want to catch them they have been eating bugs and minnows for a while, and will readily take such imitations. I know that in the U.S. its customary for trout to be stocked later in their lives and as far as I know are more apt to eat food that's similar to the food they received in the hatchery, in that case I assume you would be better off feeding them trout dough.
23 seconds in ,what is the first 2rows of flies in the box they look awesome can you fo a video on them Thanks
That is the old version of this pattern. It can be found by Googling "Green Caddis Larva".
tightlinevideo no not that one the first two rows in your fly box is it a pheasant tail hares ear or something
centralmassanglers Oh, those two rows! They are a hare's ear, pheasant tail combo that I call a "Double Standard" and I have done a video on the pattern. Although those look a bit long they are actually size 18 and tied on a Dai-Riki 285. The ones you see in the box have no weight other than a wire rib. Fish them behind a weighted nymph or behind the dry in a dry dropper rig. I try to tuck a row or two in every fly box just to be sure I'm never without them. Nice pick up.
tightlinevideo thanks I had to scroll down a few years lol but I found the video
This was very helpful but I don't have the hook, thread, or the dubbing.
Try whatever you have that looks similar. Any curved or straight hook, just about any dubbing will do. Thread, you need to find something you can flatten out and split (Danville will work, Uni can be difficult).
Thank you so much
what are the benefits of using a barbless hook? asking cuz im a fly fishing beginner and all my life ive used barbed hooks on my fishing rods
+jonathan miller Barbless hooks generally make it easier to release fish and cause them less physical harm when you are practicing catch and release fishing.
ohhh thanks ill be sure to get some. keep up the good work ill be spreading the word about your master pieces. :)
you can also pinch the barb closed; it does the same thing
The best upside is it’s easier to take out of your ear or jacket lol. All joking aside, it’s a huge benefit of going barbless especially for beginners or kids.
Does this work for Cutthroats and Rainbows
caddis flies are in just about every body of water that trout live in as far as I know, so yes.
Хорошая муха можно опробовать
Simpler the better. I've started just doing a dubbing body and just using a bead as the thorax🤣takes about 30 seconds. I notice no difference in that and the more complex patterns fish wise....At least where I'm at in Colorado.
could you use size 18?
yes, just go very light on the amount of dubbing.
Just starting my journey into fly tying and I bought the Veniard Premier box. What a waste of money. Crap thread choice that keeps breaking, bobbin too tight, either dark olive or bright red dubbing. Should have bought some nice hardware and then materials separately :(
