I decided to teach summer school again this year. exam days leave me with 6 straight hours of bumming around on the internet. thank god for this forum. nothing passes the time like looking at posts from 4-6 years ago, seeing fish pics etc... you also pick up ideas for locations, presentations, flies and tons of other stuff that you didnt pick up on during your first read of a post. anyway, the reason why i am posting is a while back when I was just getting into fly tying I put up a post about trimming hackle. Glen the reason why you are the title of this post is because you responded with this...
You can make a killer caddis without hackle. I use heavy CDC as the underwing and tie elk hair over, letting the front of the elk hair near the eye of the hook flair a little and then trim it. For a body I use ultra chenille burned to taper to a point. Easiest pattern to tie and catches even the most selective fish. Somewhere on some post last year I think I posted some pics of an example.
I searched for it but I couldnt find it, do you happen to have a pic of it laying around I'd like to take a look at the pattern. based on your description i know i can tie it on my own but i'd like to see a pic to compare. if not no worries. thanks!
