Description
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
Pro Tip
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.
