Description

The Electric Caddis is known for its vibrant and fluorescent colors like green or chartreuse, which is where the name "Electric" is derived. It imitates caddisfly larvae, although its striking appearance may not precisely mimic natural larval colors. It’s often used when you want to experiment with a more attention-grabbing fly in dark or muddy water conditions.

Pro Tip

Fish the Electric Caddis as a dropper fly below a larger dry fly or as part of a nymph rig. Drift it near the bottom to imitate a natural caddis pupa or allow it to rise at the end of the drift to mimic an emerging insect. The bright materials make this fly particularly effective in stained water or during overcast days. Hook size 12-16
