Description

The Bubble Back Caddis distinct feature is the bubble-like body formed with dubbed materials, imitating the caddis pupa as it forms a gas bubble before emerging. This fly works wonders during caddis hatches, attracting trout with its realistic appearance and buoyant presentation.

Pro Tip

Fish it behind a dry Elk Hair Caddis as a trailer in riffle water—trout often ignore the adult and focus on the vulnerable pupae ascending in the film.
