Peek-A-Boo Caddis

The Peek-A-Boo Caddis Jig is a modern nymph pattern designed to imitate the cased caddis larvae commonly found in streams and rivers. This fly is a contemporary adaptation of the traditional Peeking Caddis, originally developed by George Anderson in the 1970s to mimic the Mother's Day Caddis on the Yellowstone River.

Grease only the front half of your leader, leaving the tippet untreated; this creates a subtle hinge that lets the fly ride nose-up like a caddis struggling upward in the film. That tiny upward angle turns refusals into confident eats.
