Thanks Pat! We know these aren't your original patterns in the video but since you showed them to us I figured you at least deserved most of the credit! The pattern is phenomenal and more importantly it's easy!
I’ve linked a good video of that widow’s web profile caddis I showed Brian in the shop and Greg (Hoover) in a club open tie. Walter (the guy who created it) guided me and a friend on the Yellowstone a few years back and introduced us to the “clacka caddis” pattern. It’s really a great pattern that floats forever (especially when ginked) and adaptable to any caddis/mayfly/stonefly wing profiles. The video gives a basic idea of what it’s about, but I’ve tied it in variations that imitate caddis (like in this video), catskill-style mayfly patterns, stimulator-like stonefly patterns, and even hoppers. All have produced fish on top, whether they be used to prospect with a dropper, or tied on when targeting a rising fish.

The cool material used in this video is widow's web. This stuff is new to me, it's kinda like all those other synthetic materials.. i.e. darlon, z-lon, poly yarn, etc.. except it's stiffer allowing for a great wing! and not just a post! It's awesome check it out at the montana fly company's website!
