Hemingway Caddis
Fly of the Month
This month's fly is the Hemingway Caddis. This is a new Caddis pattern to the shop. I added it at the request of a customer. It is very similar to the Henryville Special except for the dun colored hackle and peacock thorax under the hackle. The pattern was created by Mike Lawson and named after Jack Hemingway, who took a liking to the fly while fishing with Mike. The Hemingway should fish well alongside the Henryville during the springtime hatches of dark bodied caddis.Hook - dry fly 12 – 16thread - olive 8/0 or smallerbody - olive dubbingthorax - peacock herlhackle - light to medium dunwing - mallard quill sections cupped over bodyunderwing – sparse woodduck fibers
