This emerger caddis fly pattern is an excellent dry fly for trout and grayling fishing. Equally effective on rivers and still waters. The cul de canard (CDC) feathers help the fly to float and provide life like movement that is highly attractive to fish.
Caddis are a big meal for trout and at present an important part of the food chain and consequently a crucial fly for the fly fisherman to use.
Caddis flies in pupa and dry fly form should be in every fly fisherman's box on outings to rivers and lakes today.
Emerging caddis flies are most vulnerable when they are breaking free of the shuck in the film and trying to dry their wings
