For the December Fly of the Month Pattern, the NCFFB is pleased to feature Harry Mason's Snowshoe Caddis pattern. This pattern is the epitome of simple and effective. Harry is the owner of Troutflies.com, a Whiting Pro Team Member and is widely recognized in the Fly Tying community for his innovative fly patterns. He is a long time participant on the NCFFB. The Snowshoe Caddis pattern blends a goose biot body, CDC wing and Thorax of Snowshoe Rabbit to create a fly that utilizes naturally buoyant materials (CDC and Snowshoe Rabbit) and performs in demanding heavy water situations. The unique feature of this pattern is the manner in which Harry has utilized a Snowshoe Rabbit dubbed thorax, which will float this fly without the need for special floatants.
