Small Bullet Head Caddis – Fly Tying Video from Davie McPhail

Small Bullet Head Caddis Fly

I’m going to be putting a few more of Davie McPhail’s excellent Fly-Tying tutorial videos onto this site over the coming days and weeks as there’s lots of excellent patterns, tied really well, and in a way to which I really couldn’t wish to add anything.

So I won’t!

Simply watch the video below to see Davie tie the Small Bullet Head Caddis fly – and get your fly box ready for the season ahead. If you have any questions about material or anything, feel free to ask below – or ask the man himself by clicking the video and visiting his YouTube.

This is a dry fly pattern which is often successful on small stillwaters, and Scottish lochs, to take fish from the surface.
