How to Tie the Dustup Caddis

Tim Flagler ties a pattern he calls the “Dustup Caddis” in this week’s featured tying video. The entire body of the fly is created with rabbit fur dubbing, and Tim uses bleached deer hair for the wing and head.  Tim explains the “Dustup” part of the fly’s name: “Using Frog’s Fanny or a similar treatment, brush the powder into the wing and particularly the rabbit fur body of the fly…. Then blow off the excess and your Dustup Caddis is really ready to fish….You can even skitter the fly around on the water’s surface to imitate the naturals.”
