Unlike mayflies, caddisflies are more abundantly represented. They are eagerly taken to the fish at all stages of development; From house-building larvae at the bottom, to the hatching pupa and the fully developed adult caddis, and must not be missing from any trout or grayling fisherman's fly box.
What they have in common is that they move much more than mayflies, both when they try to get to the surface or land to hatch, but also when they run on the surface or dance on it to lay their eggs – and becomes an easy prey for the trout and grayling.
Swedish Håkan karsnäser will in this video demonstrate the tying of the Pro Caddis. This is a simple, but very well-flowing and catch-giving fly. It is the fly's wing that gives the fly its fine buoyancy. It is made of a synthetic material, which also gives the fly a lifelike appearance. It is very easy to dye the wing in the desired shade and color to imitate the natural model.
