In this video, Simon puts a modern-day spin on an ageless classic. The Goddard Caddis was at one time among the most resilient flies offered. Before the prevalent usage of foams to accomplish buoyancy, tiers spun and loaded hair securely to produce water tight bodies. Typically, Goddard Caddis are not connected this big, however we are blessed with a particularly big Fall caddisfly that permits some experimentation at the connecting bench. Simon has actually had terrific success mottling his smaller sized Goddard Caddis patterns and a number of years ago started exploring mottling the cherished McKenzie Green Caddis and bigger October. This led to a more practical looking pattern. The corded up chenille is suggestive of a caddisfly abdominal area touching the water making the fly that far more tempting. This basic structure is one Simon measure and down depending upon his requirements and definitely modifications color when required. Spin some up and see on your own what it’s everything about!
