- In this fly tying tutorial Cheech ties a Variation of The Iris Caddis.
Many years ago when I decided to up my game from just staring at indicators all day, I was intrigued by the caddis hatch and the many differences that it brings from the lob and watch bobber techniques that I was used to. I began to tie and research patterns to be able to target the hyper aggressive fish I'd see right at dusk on my local river, and one pattern seemed to come up more than others, and it was the Iris Caddis. Developed by Blue Ribbon Flies, the original relies on z-lon fibers for the tail and wing, and a synthetic/natural blend for the body and thorax. Due to my recent addiction to squirrel for tying, I started to tie the iris caddis with dubbed squirrel for the body, and a squirrel hackle for the thorax. Needless to say, this fly is very effective, and I found that in faster water I will fish it behind a more visible pattern like the Palomino Caddis.

Sweet! Tight lines🕷️🐜🐛!!!!!
Nice, VERY Nice! A simple tie with a good silhouette that uses minimum materials - I am sure that the fish will vote this one to an honored position my "favorites box"!!
Great fly. The messier the head is, the better.
Fine Caddis pattern with good tips!
It's good squirrel season opened. Cool tie
By all accounts a really good fly. Nice presentation , thanks. :-)
Awesome
Hooray for UTC wood duck!
Any reason you tie a loop rather then a split thread in this case? Thanks very nicely done and filmed!!
john ehret split thread isn’t quite as durable.
How do guys prefer to fish this?
Any suggestions to get that squirrel to dub on right? keeps falling off...
moses b twist up the dubbing loop a bit tighter and you should be good. If it falls out of the loop, lightly wax your loop and keep the opening really slim.
@@FlyFishFood Thanks! actually meant the first dub for the body- having a tough time making a good noodle with the squirrel. but will keep at it!
Caught my PB brookie on this swung under a huge foam covered back eddy.
Is the head of the fly made from the same squirrel dubbing used on the body?
Yes. Just using a difference technique
