Sightfishing for Yellowfish at Sterkfontein dam.

A short clip about sightfishing for Yellowfish at Sterkfontein dam in South Africa.

Gremlins at work?

OK, not quite the blogging Gremlins, but rather me and my clumsy fingers. I accidentally managed to delete all the people on my blog list yesterday. After slaving away in front of the computer the whole night (15min) I think that I have found all of you and have hopefully got everyone back. If you don't see yourself there on the right please let me know.

Where the Gremlins did strike however is in my Google profile. It seems that  when I follow a new Blog or leave a comment I have become an "anonymous" and that lovely picture of me has disappeared into the unknown. I am hoping that this will be resolved soon, though at this stage I don't know how.

If you see the below person following you then it might be me.

Might be an improvement?

Hope to have the regular schedule back soon.

Snowshoe Caddis

MATERIALS

HOOK: Partridge Klinkhammer

HOT SPOT: Hends Body Quill

BODY: Hends Body Quill

WING:  Snowshoe Rabbit Foot

POST: Foam Cylinder

THORAX: Hare's Ear Dubbing

Step 1

Wind the Body Quill around the hook to form your hot spot.

Step 2

Tie down the Body Quill with the second colour of Body Quill that you are going to use for the body of the fly.

Step 3

Form the body of your fly. Make sure you form a nice taper. Attache your thread to the hook eye and tie down the Body Quill. Cut of the excess.

Step 4

Tie in the snowshoe rabbit hair just like you would tie in Elk hair for a Elk hair caddis. Snip of the excess towards the hook eye.

Step 5

Tie in your foam post

Step 6

Spin some dubbing around your thread and form the thorax and legs. Whip finish and trim the foam post.
