Spring Brown Caddis
Related content
My 100th video. 8 minutes of fly tying with a heavy Eastern European accent and some smooth jazz.
Inspired by some caddises that showed up on a slow spring afternoon, and changed my day, the Knottail CDC Caddis is a great one to tie and try when waters warm up.
Check out my other videos!

Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
