DSM Caddis

Post by Roadkill » Sun Aug 27, 2023 4:32 pm

I ran across this fly while cleaning out my old American Fly Fishing mags. It is named for three rivers in Massachusetts. I just have to give it a try since it is so similar to some patterns I love for caddis.

Well done Bill!
Simple pattern but very deadly during a Caddis hatch.
The Deerfield, Swift and the Millers rivers , hence the name DSM.

I will fish it on a three fly cast with my similar flies tied with black or brown ostrich. ;)

I love, love, love the Deerfield. The Millers is great with the right water conditions; and completely overlooked. The Swift is way too crowded for my taste. Being a tailwater close to Boston, it's a popular river. I don't get down that far south much anymore to fish any of those rivers. I may have to now.

I really like this pattern. Nice tie, Bill.
