You might have noticed this caddis that Johnny Klepper tied as part of the Flies Around the Net for last month here on FrankenFly. I thought this was an excellent fly and I wanted to know more about the materials that Johnny used to tie it. I contacted Johnny and the material list is below. You will notice a Wing Burner in the photos, this was to produce the Realistic Wing on the fly. You can look this up on YouTube to find out how to use a Wing Burner, it is very simple really.
Johnny ties terrific flies and if you want to see more of the type of flies he ties and to keep up with him, you can follow him on Instagram @flyfishing_and_flytying
