Butch Caddis


This fast water pattern was designed by Kelly Galloup to pull under water and pop back up imitating an emerging caddis. The name derives from the trimming of the deer hair a la the old style butch haircut. The best way to learn how to tie the fly and especially how to trim the hair you should watch Kelly himself at www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGWZA-eckVo
