Caddis

I tried a new pattern the other night.  Sat down at the desk with my new English Pointer at my feet for a little tying time.  This is my first attempt at a spun hair type fly.  Not satisfied with it yet, but I bet it will catch something.  Fall is coming fast, faster than I like, and soon it will be yet another season and another fish.  I am hoping to get out a few last times for some smallmouth bass fishing before the water is too cold to float in enjoyably.  This is my favorite time of year though, cool nights, brisk morinings and warm lazy afternoons.  Well, maybe not lazy, but very pleasant. 


Hook:  Dry fly 18
Thread: Uni 6/0 tan
Body: Spun deer hair, razored
Hackle: Furnace
Antenae:  Moose hair
