Description
The Jelly Caddis is a unique fly pattern created by Nick Pujic of the United States, originally designed for targeting Great Lakes Steelhead. This innovative fly uses Jelly Rope material to mimic the translucent sheen of caddisfly larvae and pupae, making it especially effective in clear water. Its natural look and durable construction have also made it popular for trout and other species. Commonly tied in sizes 10-16, the Jelly Caddis is versatile, imitating caddis larvae in rivers and streams. It excels when fished as a drifted nymph or an emerging caddis pattern.
Pro Tip
Light-colored Stretch Cord, such as pink, light green, and yellow, has fiber optic properties that make the fly glow underwater. This makes the fly deadly for spawning-run rainbow trout, especially in clear water.
