Caddy Shack Caddis

The Caddy Shack Caddis Jig by RIO is a subtly effective caddis pupa pattern designed to attract fish with its realistic movement and quick sinking capabilities. Tied with a tungsten bead, the fly quickly reaches the bottom and stays in the strike zone, where fish are feeding on emerging caddis pupae. The use of ostrich herl adds lifelike movement, allowing the fly to pulse in the current, mimicking the natural behavior of a struggling pupa. This pattern is ideal for fishing in riffles, runs, and other areas with fast-moving water where caddis pupa are likely to be present.

Use the Pulse Effect to Mimic Emergence: The key to the fly’s success is its ability to pulse in the current, mimicking the movement of a caddis pupa. Use rod-tip twitches or short pulls to create an undulating effect that will make the fly appear as if it's struggling to swim or emerge.
