Mini Foam Caddis Fly - Size 20!

This is quite small, and while the fly isn't overly complicated, there are some aspects that make it slightly more difficult being so small. I would say a size 18 or 16 would be so much easier. However being a simple enough pattern it does make it possible to tie this on such a small hook. This will work perfectly for the trout on the Guadalupe river I was fishing a few weeks ago. They were hitting the top water after these tiny little caddis. These were actually a bit smaller than a size 20, however I think this will be small enough to fool them.

I really appreciate the fact you didn't edit the video to make you look perfect.

I just wanted to thank you. Because of you, I caught my first rainbow trout on a fly today in the Guadalupe River. I'm a saltwater guy, and I've watched you for years to learn to tie saltwater patterns, but your video last month fishing the Guadalupe lit a fire in me. I bought a new renzetti vice, got a new 5wt Redington combo, and placed a order with Risen. I got all the materials I needed and started tying while watching your videos. I was using a Rainbow Warrior tied to the back of a Chernobyl ant, and caught a nice trout on my first cast. Ended up with several more on your RS2 BWO. Thanks again for what you do.

Great bug lil tip if you don't have razor foam for the small stuff heat up some needle nose pliers without grooves and clamp the foam

Pretty good looking fly. I seen a rubber band fly the other day that looked like a maggot or grub. Can you make anything like that? I would love to try one for panfishing. I’m about 30 minutes from the fly trap down here in rockport and was thinking about asking them

I like this pattern and am wondering how well it will work on eastern waters ( streams, rivers,ponds,and lakes ) also wondering if just in case it can be tied in both lighter or darker colors?

Hey mcfly, been watching your videos since i started tying about a year ago and aspire to make videos of my own. Would you be able to reccomend a budget camera that will get the job done? Cellphone fly tying videos arent exactly ideal 😅

ever tie or fish this pattern in 24 or smaller?

Instead of cutting the notch, leave a note with the batch with tips and tricks.
