Field Notes

Use this as a subsurface caddis imitation when trout are feeding on drifting nymphs and emergers. It is a good choice in moving water where a fly that gets down quickly can stay in the strike zone longer.

Pros

  • Fast-sinking profile helps reach feeding fish quickly
  • Barbless hook is easier to release fish from
  • Effective year-round nymph pattern

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish are keying on surface insects
  • Small profile may be hard to see in stained water
