Sparkle Pupa
Related content
The Sparkle Pupa is a great caddis emerger pattern. The Sparkle Pupa was developed by Gary LaFontaine in the 80's and the fly continues to be a favorite among many anglers. The Sparkle Pupa's success is mainly due to the "bubble" of sparkle yarn over the body. This bubble traps air, just like a natural caddis pupa making it's way to the surface of the water. This is a vulnerable stage for the caddis fly and big trout know that as they gobble them up! The Sparkle Pupa is traditionally tied in either a Caddis Green color or a Tan color. Both are effective and a must have in your caddis box!

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.
