Caddis - Dry Flies

Caddisflies (trichoptera)are moth-like aquatic insects that are extremely important to Trout. The life cycle begins as a grub-like worm called a Larva. Many varities of Caddis will build a cocoon or a case until it emerges as a Pupa where it will swim or crawl to the surface. Caddis emergence often happens very quickly, however emergers and cripples can be important to fool wary trout. The Adult Caddis live for several days to mate before returning to the surface as a Spinner.

A nice combination of elk hair and CDC in a caddis imitation great for skating. CDC keeps it from absorbing water. A caddis flies are designed for a wide range of trout-fishing situations.

CDC Emerging Caddis	$2.25

Emerging caddis flies are most vulnerable when they are breaking free of the shuck in the film and trying to dry their wings. Anglers who have been fly fishing this pattern have given it great reviews on its effectiveness as it hangs in the water. The CDC gives this fly just a bit a buoyancy to keep it in the top of the film.

CDC Hares Ear Caddis	$2.25

A combination of hare's ear and CDC makes this a winning fly pattern during caddis hatches. High-riding fly pattern that is deadly fished as a emerger or skittered on the surface to imitate the egg laying stage of the caddis life cycle.

Davy Caddis	$2.25

This caddis fly is something a little different than the standard elk wing, by renowned fly tier Davy Wotten. Davy is one of the most experienced fly anglers in the world, having fished in 40 countries. This fly pattern is his adult caddis and has proven to be an effective alternative to the elk wing.

Davy Skating Caddis	$2.25

Caddis typically thrive in slow-moving water, but on streams with a bit more flow or no hatching insects, a little creativity can sometimes result in massive takes. With Davy's Skating Caddis, forget about dead-drifting and let the current drag it across the surface. The more wake, the better. A perfect prospecting fly for those days when nothing else seems to work.

Deer Hair Emerger	$2.25

Emergers are always a great alternative to the adult dry fly pattern, particularly when trout are being really picky. Emerging insects are much more susceptible and the fish tend to key in on them during a hatch. This deer hair version sits low in the water, but the hair wing makes it visible.

Docs Cork	$2.50

Anyplace you'd fish a stonefly the Doc's Cork fly works great. The biggest benefit to this foam fly pattern is that you can fish it so much longer, keep it on the water, and fish heavier, choppier water than you can without foam. So you catch more fish because you're fishing more, rather than always dressing or drying off your fly.

Docs Super Caddis	$2.50

A Doc Thompson fly designed for heavier, choppier water that would sink and drown most any other fly. Very durable and buoyant. Doc's made a great name for himself in the southwest and he's spent years fishing these waters and figuring out patterns to solve specific problems. The Super Caddis and his Doc's Cork Stonefly are two perfect examples.

Glow in the Ass Caddis	$2.25

Goddard Caddis	$1.75

The Goddard Sedge is one of the great prospecting flies and an excellent choice for heavy water. The deer hair body gives this fly great buoyancy for traveling through rough and tumble streams and it floats high in the water, making it visible in low light conditions.

Headlight Caddis	$2.25

Often the best caddis fishing is in very low light. The green Headlight Caddis fly features a calf body post that makes it very visible and a CDC under wing that keeps it riding high in the water. In tan or green, this caddis fly is a must-have for last light.

Headlight Caddis Emerger	$2.25

One of the great things about fishing caddis emerger flies is their remarkable effectiveness due to the vulnerable stage they're imitating; trout key in on this. One of the hard things about fishing Caddis emergers is they are down in the film and often very difficult to see. This caddis fly pattern offers the best of both worlds, a very realistic pattern that will draw strikes with a parachute post that makes it much easier to see.
