Field Notes

Fish it as a subsurface caddis pupa imitation when trout are feeding on emerging insects. The tungsten bead helps it get down quickly in riffles, seams, and other moving water where caddis hatches are active.

Pros

  • Tungsten bead helps the fly sink fast
  • Soft hackle profile imitates emerging caddis well
  • Good choice for moving water and hatch conditions

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish are keyed strictly on surface insects
  • Small fly can be hard to see and manage
