Tying Instructions:
1) Onto the hook place
a "Midge" size Killer Caddis Bead. Place the hook in
the vise and securethe tying thread. Use thread
wraps to build a small "dam" behind bead to hold it
in place. Wind the thread back to the bend of the
hook.
2) Tie in the goose
biot at the bend on the near side of the hook by the
tip. The butt of the goose biot should be curving
toward you. (This will give us the smooth, segmented
body.)
3) Wind the thread
forward to the half-way point of the shank.
Carefully pull the goose biot straight up and over
the shank. Continue winding forward to the tying
thread, making sure the subtle segmentation formed
by the contrasting colors shows clearly. Tie off and
clip the excess.
4) Dub a thorax of mole
dubbing about as wide as the bead.
5) Tie in the starling
hackle by its tip. Fibers should be long enough to
extend to the bend. Take one full turn and tie off.
You should now be directly behind the bead head.
Clip excess.
6) Whip finish and
carefully cement the thread wraps. For durability,
you can run a drop of cement along the biot body as
well.
