Magic Caddis
There's nothing really magic about it (aside from the fairy pubes), it's just a name that stuck.
It's my answer for a better EHC. I guess it sounds kind of like trying to build a better mouse trap. A mouse trap that doesn't roll over on the water, has no over sized hackle, and doesn't unravel after the first fish.
"Why Sir, this must be magic", you say. Nay my friend. I simply ripped off a number of different modern tying techniques and applied them towards a caddisfly.
Magic or not, it works pretty well. Lucky for your, we have a recipe and quick tutorial so you can stuff your boxes with yet another "can't miss" pattern.
We're Back !
After a chilly winter hiatus, Troutdirt is back. We have a shiny new web page, some new fly patterns in our boxes, and a promising season ahead of us. In the coming weeks and months, expect lots of updates to the fly tying section, and a constant blog trickle of our nefarious activities. Our schwag department will be open shortly as well. We’re looking to add some basics, i.e. hats, T’s, and beer cozies. All are appropriately stylish to impress the ladies on the river. There are a few other things brewing in the TD Garage Factory, but we’ll save those for later, when all of the kinks and flammability issues have been worked out.
If this is your first time in the dirt, welcome. If you’ve been here before, welcome back. Take a tour of the site, and say hello on the bulletin board. We’re trying our best to get this dog and pony show in gear, so if you have any comments or suggestions, please drop us a line.
