This fly looks exactly like a real caddis nymph. I’ve used it in trout streams and caught several fish with it. The detail on the legs and body is impressive and it floats naturally in the water.

Great addition to my fly box. The realistic design matches the natural nymphs well. I’ve seen it work well in both early morning and late afternoon fishing.
Boris Black –
Very lifelike. The black head and segmented body are accurate. It’s a bit light, so I use it in calm waters where nymphs are more visible.

Felt like a natural part of the water when I cast it. Caught a whitefish on the first try. Highly recommend for anglers targeting caddis nymphs.
