MFC Flies Juan’s Jig UV Kryptonite Caddis Barbless Nymph
MFC Flies Juan’s Jig UV Kryptonite Caddis Nymph takes an already deadly pattern and flips it onto a jig hook with a 2.8mm bead. This fly gets down and rides hook point up, with the extra bonus of added UV treatment for visual cue. A wispy CDC collar creates just the right amount of movement.

FAQ
What makes this caddis nymph different from other patterns?
The UV treatment enhances visibility in low light, and the jig style design with a hook point up allows the fly to sink and move naturally in the water. The CDC collar adds subtle movement for better presentation.
Is the hook barbless and suitable for use with certain fishing techniques?
Yes, the fly features a barbless hook, which is ideal for use with techniques that require gentle hook sets or when targeting fish that are more cautious or sensitive.
Can this fly be used in different water conditions?

This fly performs well in both clear and murky waters. The UV treatment helps it stand out when fishing in low light. The CDC collar gives it a natural floating action that mimics real caddis. I’ve used it successfully in streams and lakes.

Great detail on the pattern. The 2.8mm bead keeps it weighted properly and it sinks smoothly. I noticed it’s more visible under UV light, which helps when fishing in shaded areas. Works well with a slow retrieve.

I’ve tried several caddis nymphs, and this one stands out for its movement and presentation. The barbless hook makes it easy to remove without damaging the fish. A reliable choice for dry fly patterns.
