RIO Tan Caddis Dry Fly Assortment

Trout feed on all stages of Caddis, but emerging caddis seem to be a little extra special. If you could snap a photo of an adult caddis just as it is emerging from its former larva body you’d have RIO’s Body Double. This pattern sits with its back side below the water surface on a curved shank hook which best replicates the pupating caddis. The front half of the hook sits above the water line replicating the freshly emerged adult.

There is magic in the Zeppelin Caddis. Have you ever been in a blizzard caddis hatch, with fish porpoising all over but ignoring your fly? They are probably on the pupa or emergers. The Zeppelin Caddis, with its detached bubble-shaped body and scratchy thorax, uniquely combines a low floating profile like an emerging pupa with great visibility and buoyancy, and it has cracked the code on fussy eaters from the great tailwaters of the East to brawling Western streams.

Dry flies are designed to be fished on the top of the water. Dry flies float either on their own, or with the assistance of a floatant such as silicon based gel, or dry fly shake. They can be fished in rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes alike. Many fish will rise the surface to inspect a dry fly and decide if they want to strike at it or not.
