Graphic Caddis

The Graphic Caddis, a remarkably realistic caddis pupa and emerger, stands as a testament to the ingenuity of fly-tying legend John Barr. This intricately designed pattern captures the essence of caddis in their transformative stages. Experiment with colors like olive, tan, or brown to match the caddis larvae in your local waters. Its lifelike appearance and adaptability make it a must have fly!

The Graphic Caddis excels when trout are looking up but not keyed on a specific hatch. Fish the Graphic Caddis as the lead fly in a nymph rig or paired with a heavier fly to help it drift naturally near the bottom. Use a dead drift in slower currents or let it swing at the end of the drift to mimic an emerging caddis.
