Emerging Olive Caddis

Post by FlyFisherMann1955 » Sun Mar 28, 2021 5:31 pm

After watching Davie McPhail tie an Olive Snatcher, I thought, with a different wing and some partridge,
that could make a good emerging caddis. Even though the Sowbug Fly Tying event has been cancelled
again this year, I hope to make it over to the White River in Arkansas next month and try this fly. I've had success
with caddis there before in late March and I think they continue to May.
