Fly Tying

Cased Caddis Pattern

Trout love to eat cased caddis but I’ve never had much success tying flies to represent them. Β Jonathan Hoyle sent me these lovely caddis flies that use a dubbed body to represent the case and partridge hackles for the little caddis legs peeping out of the case.

A keen angler since 1998 when I started sea fishing while living in Australia
On returning to the UK, l realised I had good trout water on my doorstep and took up fly fishing. I pursued this with the same passion and was happy to have the opportunity to develop a business in my chosen pursuit.
Favourite species include Trout and Grayling but I also like to pursue other species with the fly and have caught sea-trout, pike, perch, roach, chub, orf, minnows, mackerel, coalfish , pollock and mullet on the fly so far.
