It’s time for another exciting episode of “Fly Tying with Tom” on Facebook Live, TODAY at 3 p.m. (EDT) on the Orvis Fly Fishing Facebook page. From his home tying station, Tom will demonstrate how to tie the venerable Elk-Hair Caddis, originally created by Montana legend Al Troth.
If you need to stock up for these events, we’re offering FREE shipping on all fly-tying materials.
For each of these fly-tying events–which happen every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday–we will announce the pattern and the recipe in the morning, so you can get everything in order to be ready to tie along with Tom. Here’s the recipe for today’s Elk-Hair Caddis:
