Field Notes

This is a weighted fly pattern designed to get down quickly and imitate small cased caddis or shrimp. Fish it in runs, seams, and deeper pockets where trout or other fish are feeding near the bottom. It works well as part of a nymphing setup or as a dropper behind a dry fly.

Pros

  • Tungsten bead helps it sink fast
  • Natural shimmer can imitate multiple prey items
  • Versatile nymph-style pattern

Cons

  • Small profile may be hard to see on the water
  • Best used with proper nymphing presentation
