Neversink Caddis fly pattern - Apple Caddis dry image

Description

The Neversink Caddis is a highly buoyant dry fly pattern crafted to imitate adult caddisflies, especially during their surface activity. Its foam body ensures superior floatation, while the elk hair wing and hackle add both visibility and lifelike movement.

Pro Tip

Micro Skating Technique: In slow-moving pools, impart subtle twitches to the fly to create a slight skating motion. This mimics the erratic movement of a caddisfly on the water's surface, enticing curious trout.
