Antron Caddis Sakasa Kebari

[Deleted]

I thought I'd pop this fly in here as it's one I like a lot and is sure to be on my line next time I manage out after grayling. It's really easy to tie and with the addition of a copper wire underbody should get down to where the fish are without any trouble.

Materials:

Hook: Longshank #12 - #16 Curved Nymph (Hayabusa 270)
Thread: Black UTC 70
Hackle: Hen (Short)
Thorax: Orvis Peacock Ice Dubbing
Under Body: Fine Copper Wire
Body: Orvis Antron Yarn Olive or Cream

More details can be found on my blog.

All comments welcome.

Troutfly.

Noticed you'd posted this fly yesterday & no one had commented.

Shame on you all ;D.

Is this a new untried pattern or a pattern that has caught fish for you before?

Only just logged in to see this pattern... very nice indeed. Looks a bit like the Oliver Edwards way of tying a body. You'll have to let us know how it fishes.

Hey guys, it's based on a pattern I started fishing at the start of the trout season, it fished very well so I'm hoping the sakasa version will work well next season, I'll give it a chuck for grayling and see how that goes.

For anyone who is interested in tying this pattern I've uploaded a video to youtube showing how I tie it.

Hi Douglas.

A great upload. I hope you intend to do more of this with other patterns?

Regards Stevie.

Hi Stevie,

I have been planning to do some more video for my blogs but I really need a better camera so I'm on the hunt for an HD camcorder (maybe waterproof) for indoor and outdoor fishing pursuits.
