Used the Blind Caddis on a quiet lake in the early morning. The fish took it right away, especially in the back eddies. It’s a subtle pattern that matches the natural caddis nymphs in deeper water. Highly recommended for those targeting spooky fish.
Max Dowd –
Felt like a natural match in deeper sections of the lake. The presentation was smooth and the fish reacted quickly. A solid addition to my nymphing kit.

Caught several fish on this pattern during a late afternoon session. It worked well in the back eddies and stayed on the water without floating too high. Great for still water conditions.
