Ginger Caddis

The Ginger Caddis is a versatile dry fly variant that excels during summer caddis activity, especially in clear, freestone streams. Its light, warm-toned body provides just enough contrast to trigger strikes from trout in varying light conditions. This pattern is especially effective for brown trout and brookies, offering a buoyant, buggy profile that rides well on the surface. It mimics a wide range of tan to ginger-colored caddisflies found in both Eastern and Western waters.

In riffly water, clip the underside of the hackle flat to help the fly sit lower like a spent or crippled adult.
