Cased Caddis

No comments yet

This cased caddis larva is essentially a simplified variant of Oliver Edwards' peeping caddis. It's deadly for trout and grayling in rivers everywhere. Adjust the weight to suit flows and if tied heavily can be used to pull smaller flies down to the take zone.

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
