Description

The Bosnian Caddis Pupa Selection - from Barbless Flies Three 'Bosnian' variations on the Caddis theme. Our selection includes 3 each of three different patterns (a total of 9 Bosnian Caddis Pupa/Nymphs). These aren't museum pieces. They're working interpretations tied by our Bosnian tier - someone who understands proportion, material quality, and the difference between a nymph that looks right and one that fishes right. Three of each pattern gives you the confidence to actually fish them properly. Upstream dead drift through the runs. Across and down on the swing. However you work nymphs on your water. Each of these exquisite Bosnian Caddis patterns are tied on the best barbless hooks in the business - AHREX & Hanak. The patterns included in our Bosnian Caddis Selection are: The Caddis Pupa - Tied in an emerging posture that trout key on during a hatch, this pattern captures the moment when a caddis pupa breaks from its shuck. The distinctive green body does the heavy lifting - exactly the colour trigger that fish hone into. Our selection contains 3 each of these, all tied on size 12 Hanak 390BL barbless hooks. The Cased Caddis - A faithful imitation of the larval stage, weighted to trundle naturally along the riverbed where trout hoover up cased caddis with barely a second thought. The green tones woven through the body blend seamlessly with the weed and gravel of a typical Spring riffle. Our selection contains 3 each of these, all tied on size 14 AHREX FW503 barbless hooks. The Caddis Nymph - Fish it on the swing, dead drift, or under an indicator - this versatile nymph covers the free-swimming caddis larva that trout will take confidently throughout the season. That flash of green is no accident; it's the detail that sets it apart from the generic nymphs already sitting in your box. Our selection contains 3 each of these, all tied on size 14 AHREX FW503 barbless hooks. Just click on "Add To Basket" and then adjust the quantity in your shopping basket.

Field Notes

A caddis pupa/nymph selection for trout water, especially when fish are feeding on emerging caddis or drifting nymphs in runs and riffles. Fish it as an upstream dead drift or swing it across and down through current seams and softer edges. The weighted patterns are meant to get down and drift naturally near the riverbed.
