Perfect Caddis

No comments yet

If there's one dry fly that deserves a permanent place in every trout angler's fly box, it's the Caddis.

In this fly-tying tutorial, Håkan Karsnäser demonstrates how to tie the Pro Caddis using the Pro Sportfisher Caddis Wings. Designed to create a realistic silhouette while remaining incredibly durable and highly buoyant, this pattern is equally at home on freestone rivers, spring creeks, and stillwaters.

Our Caddis Wings are made from an extremely durable floating material that keeps the fly riding high, even after catching multiple fish. They come in a standard white color with natural black markings, but can easily be customized with a waterproof marker to match your local caddis species. Because the color penetrates the material, the wing is evenly colored on both sides for a clean, natural appearance.

Available in five different sizes, the Caddis Wings make it easy to tie everything from small spring caddis to larger sedge patterns.

Whether you're targeting wild brown trout, rainbow trout, cutthroat, brook trout, or grayling, the Pro Caddis is a versatile pattern you'll reach for throughout the season.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
