Sheridan Lake Sedge Pupa

The Sheridan Lake Sedge Pupa

This little beauty is the brain child of Ken Baker. The story is that he developed the fly for British Columbia’s famous Sheridan lake but it’s definitely not limited to that body of water.  We have used this Caddis pupa pattern in many of the lakes in the BC Interior and when the sedges are active it’s a real doozey!

Here’s how to tie it!

Materials:

Hook: Tiemco 200R, Eagle Claw L 52 size 4,6,8.
Thread: 6/0 black, brown, green, no matter as long as it’s dark.
Underbody: .020 Lead wire, dark green or brown wool.
Rib (optional): Gold oval tinsel
Abdomen: Arizona Simi Seal No. 25 Canadian Olive
Legs: Pheasant Tail or Rump.

Thorax/Head: Peacock herl.

Step by Step Tying Instructions

... wrap middle of hook with lead.

... build up a tapered body

... top view of tapered body.

... dub the last 2/3 of the hook.

... wind rib forward.

... tie in legs.

... tie in herl, form head & whip finish.

... the finished product!

The Sheridan Lake Sedge Pupa ……. That’s all there is to it!
