Valley Caddis
The Valley Caddis Nymph is one of my personal favorites. Tied originally for Valley Creek in Valley Forge PA, it began as a whim at the vise and ended up one of my best producing nymphs on most every water. Sometimes you tie a pattern with the best of hopes and it just spends time getting wet and enjoying the stream. The Valley Caddis spends most of it's time drifting along and getting chewed on. Which is a good thing, as far as fly patterns go. Easy to tie and productive on the water.
