This fly is designed to imitate a cased Caddis or a Caddis Larva. Don't let the simplicity fool you; this fly is one of the most productive trout patterns wherever Caddis are present. This fly works well when fished under an indicator or as a single nymph. The Peacock Herl at the front gives this fly the right shade of green, and the cream-colored back looks just like the tail end of a Caddis Larva in the water. This unweighted fly should be fished with a weight or a heavier fly above it to help it sink into the feeding zone of a trout. Most fish eat this fly when it's rolling along the bottom of a river, so be sure to get it down deep. This is a productive pattern in the western US, eastern US, and around the world, wherever trout feed on Caddis in heavy numbers. In smaller sizes, this fly is also a great midge imitation and can be used in tailwaters and spring creeks, too.

"This is a phenomenal staple pattern for me up here in the Northeast. We have tons of Caddis and this simple fly imitates a larva near-perfectly. This is a no-nonsense fly, easy to tie on and easy to fish. I like the size 18 for smaller midge-like bugs and the larger sizes for Caddis from small streams to larger rivers like the Kennebec in Maine."
