    Matt, how about a video dedicated to your fly fishing library?
    What titles, what authors, which books are interesting, and which ones are foundational?
    Or, if you’d prefer, say you had to sell your books, which are the last ones you’d part with and why? I love fly fishing, but a close second is reading a good fly fishing book.
    Thanks

    Great fly pattern. They simulate the ryhacophilia (green sedge caddis).I tie them using copper wire, multiple strands of peacock herl forming the body and head and green floss as a carapace shell over the top of the herl allowing the herl to show as legs. I then wrap the wire over the floss to secure it behind the head and tie off the wire, whip finish. Thanks again for another great video.

    • @SavageFlies

      Hahaha! I appreciate that. I can tell you, that yellow, red and green are the most common floss colors I use. One thing I do is buy a multi-pack of floss every year or so. Now the brown and silver may last a pretty long time as I rarely use them, but this is a pretty economical pack. flyshack.com/DisplayItem.aspx?ItemID=23422

    Good morning Matt. I think a row of those will be going into my box as well. Not sure how well they will stand up though. I might try putting some krazy glue down before the herl rib on some to see if it makes any difference in durability. That book looks like a good pick up. Just got hit with hopefully our last winter storm. Our yard is white again but looking ahead to next week that will be gone in short order. Looking forward to getting on the water. Take care Matt and have a great weekend.

      Oh man, snow again?? We had some odd weather this weekend. Over 90 degrees on Friday, rainy Saturday and a kind of chilly 60 degrees today. As for the durability of this one, a couple people mentioned putting UV resin down on the body before the herl, and then seeing if it would be more secure after hardening it. You'd think it would have to be a bit more durable like this. Might be worth trying!

      Absolutely Bob! And you know, until reading the first chapter of La Fontaine's book, I never realized that the humble caddis had been neglected so much for the last hundred years. But when I started looking back, it doesn't show up near as often in my really old books as do all sorts of mayfly patterns. I'm definitely learning a lot from both of these books.

    • @FlyTyer1948
      @FlyTyer1948 Před rokem

      When I first started fly fishing, the streams locally in MA had a lot of mayflies as well as caddis. However, when I started on the “fly fishing only” part of the Penobscot, I found that caddis & sometimes stoneflies were the predominant insects. Mayfly patterns worked but weren’t the most effective most of the time. That suited me just fine, since they were (to me) more fun to watch in or out of the water. :-)
