This is a cased caddis larva pattern tied in the Czech style. This nymph is tied on a jig hook with a slotted tungsten bead that causes it to bounce along the bottom with the hook point riding up. Cased Caddis patterns are very effective, especially in freestone streams. Fish this fly on point, with a smaller offering above it.

This video features an extended body technique I came up with several years ago. It has worked quite well to imitate Baetis mayflies and PMDs. Change the color of the tubing for the species of mayfly you are imitating. It can also be used for a caddis or stonefly body.
Thanks? for the great comments. More videos are on the way.
@MegaTroutFishing- I use imovie to edit the videos
Another great video, thanks Hans,? love the czech patterns.
Another? great video.
Sent this? video to my buddies in OR. Grew up on Santiam River! Lots of caddis! Cool pattern, easy tie, look fishEEE. Hope to get back this summer!
What editing? software do you use? Nice video!

Thanks for watching. It is the tiemco? heavy duty ceramic bobbin. You can see it at my webstore.
What Bobbin Holder was that? Thx for? the video.
Wow Hans, great fly. I’ll be watching? for more vids from you. Thanks
Nice fly. I’m not sure how this one would float, so I’d probably opt for hackle or? deer hair with that CDC.
I? like the legs technique. I use partridge that way on nymphs, but never thought of CDC on dries… Good stuff.
