Description
The Bird of Prey Caddis, crafted by Rick Anderson has swiftly gained acclaim as a favored caddis pupa/emerger pattern. Featuring a weighted bead head, it excels in euro rigs or dry-dropper setups. The soft hackle flawlessly mimics the emerging pupa, proving especially effective on the swing or at the end of the drift.
Pro Tip
Swing the Bird of Prey up and across at the end of your drift—its soft hackle and dubbed thorax pulse naturally on the rise, imitating an emerging caddis. Trout often eat it violently during this upward lift, so hold tight as the fly comes under tension.
