Iris Caddis
The Iris Caddis is a caddis emerger pattern developed by Craig Mathews of Blue Ribbon Flies. The Iris Caddis is best fished as the caddis pupa are emerging. Usually in early morning or late evening. I have had great success on the Madison River just before sunset on this pattern. Especially on fish that are very picky and not rising to adult dries. The Iris Caddis can be tied in several color combinations, such as Tan, Olive and Amber. The pattern is best tied in #14-18, but can be tied larger in different areas. This is one caddis emerger you must have in your 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.
