When the fly line is lightly lifted, the body of the caddis will bounce back. It looks like a large, black and golden fly. The elk hair caddis is a very common species on the fly fishing scene.
Fly pattern
Align the elkhair fibers and the hook eye to tie this fly. Then, cut the fibres to the desired length. Once you've determined the length, wrap the hackles with two to three loose wraps. Then secure the hook with loose turns. Wrap the remaining elkhair over the head of hook. The hook's eye should be at the end of the hackle.
Longitude of wings
The hook gape should be equal to the length of an elk caddis wing. The bottom hackles of an elk hair caddis wing should be as close as possible to the hook when tied. Although Hare's Mask was the original fly, many tiers recommend stiffening the hair. The wing will not flare as much if you have softer hair.
