Whether caddis are hatching, emerging, or egg-laying, this pattern presents a convincing target that trout on the Roaring Fork, Frying Pan, and Colorado River recognize and eat with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFish it subsurface as a nymph or wet fly, or swing it through the current to imitate an emerging or egg-laying caddis. The #14 covers most standard caddis activity; the #16 is a great all-around size for most conditions; the #18 is the right call on low, clear water when trout are selective and feeding on smaller naturals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePattern Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caddis wet fly \/ emerging pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes available:\u003c\/strong\u003e #14, #16, #18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHook:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curved nymph\/wet fly hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective fished dead-drift, on a swing, or as a dropper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers caddis larva, pupa, and emerging stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProductive on the Roaring Fork, Frying Pan, Colorado River, and most Colorado tailwaters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks spring through fall during caddis activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Fish It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDead-drift under an indicator or on a tight line at depth to imitate a drifting larva or pupa. At the end of the drift, let it swing up through the water column — this rising motion imitates an emerging caddis and often triggers aggressive strikes. Also works well as a dropper off a dry fly or as part of a two-nymph rig with a Zebra Midge or RS2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in store at Glenwood Springs Outdoors, 831 Grand Ave, Glenwood Springs, CO.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Country","offers":[{"title":"#14","offer_id":54391528456558,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#16","offer_id":54391528489326,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#18","offer_id":54391528522094,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/1090\/7758\/files\/caddis_borealis_446x480_8562686e-d470-438a-874f-036ec71ebfd0.jpg?v=1785090334","url":"https:\/\/www.glenwoodspringsoutdoors.com\/products\/caddis-borealis","provider":"Glenwood Springs Outdoors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
