Elk Hair Caddis

I was looking online for a great presentation of how to tie an Elk Hair Caddis and I came across Rob W. of Lakestream Outfitters video.  It's a high definition how-to video that will aid you in brushing up on your caddis tying skills.  Of course you can change the color of the dubbing and hackle to meet the needs of whatever Caddis pattern you need to replicate.  


Brian and I have spent some time on Spring Creek the last couple days and have had some fun fishing the Tan Caddis hatch that has been happening the last few weeks.  Some fish you'll catch with a good drag free cast and others have been very particular on feeding on a moving fly.  As you watch the "real" caddis on the water it is interesting to watch how selective some trout can be.  Brian and I will give the rod a twitch, or even strip a few inches of the line in to mimic that realistic flutter that you see to the subsequent take of the trout.  Here are a few pictures that Brian and I have documented while out on the streams at various parts of Spring Creek.
