Description

A simple take on the braided caddis pupa. This version includes a small tuft of cdc and a tungsten bead. Both of those additions should improve the overall effectiveness over the original (which is still a great pattern) Great during the summer when fish are looking for tasty caddis pupa mid-day. Also a fantastic attractor even when caddis are not thick. Tied by Solitude Fly Co

Field Notes

Fish it as a caddis pupa imitation when trout are feeding subsurface, especially during midday summer hatches. The tungsten bead helps it get down quickly, and it can also work as a general attractor when caddis are not abundant.

Pros

  • Tungsten bead helps the fly sink quickly
  • Effective caddis pupa imitation
  • Can double as an attractor pattern

Cons

  • Heavier bead may be less subtle in very shallow water
  • Best use is tied to subsurface trout feeding
