At first glimpse, this looks like a standard caddis dry fly pattern, but in a size #8-10, it makes a great terrestrial hopper pattern. An easy to tie classic from the legend Polly Rosborough. • • Hook: #8-10 dry fly • Thread: Gray • Rib: Ginger hackle, trimmed • Body: Cream yarn • Underwing: Yellow bucktail • Overwing: Mottled turkey quill • Hackle: Ginger and grizzly • • ** Some of the popular books used on this channel: ** • Dave Hughes, Essential Trout Flies, 2017, https://amzn.to/3lbCZYX • Dave Hughes, Wet Flies, 2015, https://amzn.to/33ac3lQ • David Klausmeyer's Favorite Flies, 2020, https://amzn.to/3oeSNMa • Morgan Lyle's Simple Flies, 2015, https://amzn.to/3qB1zW1 • Fly Pattern Encyclopedia: https://amzn.to/34U0rUe • Mike Valla's Tying the Founding Flies, 2015, https://amzn.to/354oSir • Mike Valla's Classic Streamer Fly Box, 2020, https://amzn.to/3n3Vakf • Randle Scott Stetzer's Flies, the Best One Thousand, 1992, https://amzn.to/34Q15mp • Terry Hellekson's Popular Fly Patterns, 1976, https://amzn.to/2L4IyvS • Dick Stewart's, Flies for Bass and Panfish, 1992, https://amzn.to/3aGpFs1 • Fly Pattern Encyclopedia: https://amzn.to/34U0rUe • Savage Flies is a project with the mission of encouraging and teaching fly tying to as many people as possible.
