Tent Wing Caddis fly pattern - Caddis dry image

Description

The Tent Wing Caddis Staying true to the authentic form of the adult caddisfly is an ultra-realistic imitation designed to replicate the distinct tent wings and prominent antennas of its natural counterpart. This lightweight pattern excels in both lake and river environments, capturing the intricate details that make the caddisfly a compelling target for discerning trout. The Tent Wing Caddis not only mirrors the appearance but also embodies the essence of the natural insect, making it a versatile and effective choice.

Pro Tip

During a caddis hatch, the Tent Wing Caddis excels when fished with a dead drift along seams, riffles, and near overhanging vegetation where caddisflies are active. To imitate the erratic behavior of egg-laying caddis, add occasional, subtle twitches to your presentation. If fish are hesitant to strike, try trimming the hackle on the underside of the fly so it rides lower in the surface film, mimicking a more vulnerable insect
