HOT DOG CADDIS
DESCRIPTION
Hogan Brown of Loon Outdoors demonstrates how to tie one of his all-time favorite caddis patterns, the Hot Dog Caddis. This simple yet highly effective fly was first introduced to Hogan by New Mexico angler Toner Mitchell, and it has since become his go-to pattern for caddis hatches. In this step-by-step fly tying video, Hogan walks you through the materials, proportions, and tying techniques to create the Hot Dog Caddis. He explains how this pattern can be tied in as few as two steps or dressed up with extra details like CDC, mallard flank, flash, and elk hair. Perfect for both beginner tiers and experienced anglers looking for a versatile emerger or adult caddis pattern.
