Caddis Sparkle Pupa

The Sparkle Pupa, created by Gary Lafontaine, tailored to replicate the transformative phase of caddisflies during their pupal stage. This fly captures the natural behavior of caddisflies as they ascend through the water column to the surface before emerging as adults. What sets the Sparkle Pupa apart is its ingenious design, incorporating materials like dubbing, tinsel, and flash to create sparkle and lifelike movement underwater.

Fish the Caddis Sparkle Pupa on a dead drift near the bottom, allowing it to rise at the end of the drift to mimic an emerging pupa ascending to the surface. Use a two-fly rig, pairing it with a dry fly to target both subsurface and surface feeders. Adjust colors like olive, tan, or green to match local caddis species for increased success
