Description

The addition of bead heads has revolutionized soft hackle caddis pupa fly patterns.

Field Notes

Fish this as a subsurface caddis pupa imitation when trout are feeding on emerging insects. It works well with a dead-drift presentation or a slight swing in moving water, especially near riffles and seams.

Pros

  • Bead head helps it get down quickly
  • Soft hackle profile suggests a natural emerging insect
  • Versatile for dead-drift or swing presentations

Cons

  • Not ideal for surface feeding fish
  • Small fly can be hard to see and manage in wind
