In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Dave ties The Marauder Caddis! "The Marauder Caddis is a great fly for any caddis hatch throughout the year. With a tweak of the color and hook size one can imitate a variety of different caddis hatches that anglers will find throughout the west. The flash adds a bit of sparkle to the pattern to help with visibility in murky water and the tungsten bead allows the fly to fish well in swift pocket water as well as slower runs and seams. The pattern is relatively simple yet highly effective which makes it great for beginner tyers wanting to try out a new favorite caddis emerger!"
