Description
The Peacock Caddis Dry epitomizes simplicity and effectiveness. Combining peacock herl, elk hair, and hackle, this pattern becomes a straightforward yet deadly option. Its durability and visibility make it a standout choice for fly anglers seeking reliable success on the water. While particularly favored during the Mother's Day Caddis hatch in the spring, the Peacock Caddis Dry proves its worth throughout the summer, showcasing its versatility and unwavering ability to entice trout under various conditions.
Pro Tip
Fish the Peacock Caddis Dry during a caddis hatch with a dead drift near riffles, seams, or pools. For added effectiveness, give the fly subtle twitches to mimic an egg-laying caddis or one struggling on the surface. Use floatant on the wing and hackle to ensure it stays high and visible, even in faster currents.
