Caddis
Medium - 3-5 Min
Coldwater
There isn’t much room for stand in materials on this fly. In fact it would most likely damage the integrity of the bug, and how it performs if you were to swap out any of these materials. It’s just one of those rule follower bugs.
Changing the body color on this fly can be quite effective for imitating the specific caddis that you’ve been seeing on the water in your area. Some popular colors besides the original tan are olive and brown. Having a few colors and a few sizes is the name of the game when dry fly fishing, so get to the vise quickly!
The Rough Water Caddis is the bug to grab if you’ve got a turbulent run in front of you. A pattern like this one will float like a cork when other flies just won’t be able to preform. It takes some practice to tie, but once you get the hang of it you’ll have a friend in him for life. No water will be too rough for a dry fly, and it doesn’t even need any foam! The profile of this fly is also super realistic and convincing.
This fly is a perfect candidate for being fished alone, or as the dry fly in a dry dropper rig. Because of it’s design to float in rough water, it will also be pretty proficient at floating a dropper of your choosing. Fished alone, this fly can stay above the surface, even across tricky currents.
