Description
The Caped Avenger, crafted by Eric Beebe of CATCH Fly Fishing, is a versatile attractor nymph designed to imitate a range of aquatic insects, including mayflies and caddisflies in their emerging stages. Its distinctive "cape" adds a subtle flash, effectively mimicking the natural air bubbles that insects use during their ascent to the surface. Hook size 16-18.
Pro Tip
Middle Fly in a Nymph Rig: Position the Caped Avenger as the middle fly in a three-fly nymph setup to effectively represent emerging caddisflies heading toward the surface.
