The Holy Grail is a celebrated attractor-style caddis emerger/bug nymph created by the renowned fly designer Charles Jardine. It’s often used as a dropper below dry flies or as a stand-alone nymph. Suggested to mimic a mix of caddis pupae, mayfly nymphs, and scuds, making it a superb "universal" nymph, Its bug-like profile and flashy accent make it highly effective in freestone streams

Pro Tip

Effective as dropper or standalone; fishes well in various nymphing techniques.
