A stupid simple caddis nymph. This is an incredibly basic pattern that requires basic materials and skill. If you're new to fly tying this a good pattern to get started on!
This fly can be altered to look like many different varieties of bugs, such as the Hellgramite at the end of the video!
On pressured waters I've done well fishing these. The extended/elevated body make this fly look different than most of the typical fly patterns people fish where the WHOLE body is actually attached to the hook. It's for this reason I keep a few of these little dudes in the box. In late summer I fish them as a dropper and it smokes our local brook trout when the Greenie Weenie bite is strong.
We have all of the materials to tie this fly in our shop and online, but I'd suggest checking out your local fly shop's selection to support them! Don't have a local shop? Then get in touch and we can help you get started!
