Peeping Caddis - Tungsten

This fly imitates a cased caddis as it hatches, with a tungsten bead to help get it down, where it needs to be.

The Peeping Caddis Tungsten imitates a cased caddis larva beginning to emerge from its protective case. That profile gives trout a familiar, high value food source near the bottom, especially in riffles, seams, and caddis rich water.

The tungsten bead helps the fly sink quickly and stay close to the zone where caddis larvae are most available. Its natural shape makes it useful when trout are feeding low, while the exposed body detail gives the pattern enough life to stand out from plain weighted nymphs.

Fish it under an indicator, as a point fly, or in a Euro nymphing setup. It is especially useful during caddis activity, after disturbing rocks, or whenever trout are picking off heavier subsurface food near the streambed.
