Antifreeze Caddis Jig

The Antifreeze Caddis Jig, designed by Umpqua Signature Tyer Scott Newman, is a dynamic and effective fly pattern that replicates the caddis nymph in both its drifting and emergent stages. Tied on a jig hook, this fly is specifically designed to ride hook point up, reducing snagging on the bottom and offering a unique presentation that mimics the caddis larvae or pupae as they move toward the surface. The Antifreeze Caddis Jig features a translucent, pale green body that simulates the natural color of caddis larvae, while the inclusion of a bright, icy "antifreeze" thorax adds a distinctive flash that draws the attention of trout

Use in Fast, Shallow Water: The Antifreeze Caddis Jig is excellent for fishing in faster currents or shallow riffles, where caddis nymphs are actively moving toward the surface. The jig hook ensures that the fly rides hook-point up, minimizing snags and allowing it to drift freely, mimicking the nymphs' natural movement in fast water.
