Fly Tying: Shopdust Caddis Emerger
Words By: North 40 Outfitters
Posted: May 14, 2015

Caddis emergers are one pattern that seem to fish better the more they are chewed on. The TMC 2488H hook is the perfect foundation. I wanted this pattern to be able to be fished until it is destroyed and not have the hook's strength compromised. The glass bead gives the fly an element of translucency. Durability, simplicity, and fish appeal--this bug has it all.
