In this fly tying tutorial Fulling Mill Technical Manager Steve Carew ties the Balloonhammer Caddis. Originally designed by Roman Moser, its been tweaked a few times since first being tied. This is an excellent caddis dry pattern, most especially when trout and grayling are feeding on adult bugs. Due to it's Ultra Dry Yarn underwing and Bug Foam "balloon" at the top, it floats both high and long without getting submerged. This is also a great pattern to use if you're fishing a dry dropper as it can suspend nymphs well even in the smaller sizes.
