CZ Caddis Jig

The CZ Caddis, designed by Umpqua Signature tyer Riley Cotter, is an exceptional tungsten nymph pattern created specifically for euro nymphing. This fly is designed to imitate the caddis larva, a key food source for many freshwater fish, particularly during the spring and early summer months. The use of tungsten ensures the CZ Caddis sinks quickly, allowing it to stay in the strike zone where fish are feeding on caddis larvae that dwell near the bottom. Its simplicity and effective design, with a durable body and slight movement from the materials used, make it an excellent option for deep, fast-moving water.

Fish in Faster Currents: Thanks to its tungsten bead and streamlined design, the CZ Caddis is ideal for fishing in fast-moving water. Cast the fly into riffles, runs, or drop-offs where caddis larvae are typically found. The quick sinking feature ensures it stays in the strike zone without dragging, making it perfect for aggressive fish looking for larvae.
