Caddis Larva Olive
Fly Details
Caddis Larva Olive
This bead head pattern imitates a free-living or net-spinning caddis larva and is designed to sink quickly into the strike zone. The ribbed body and subtle flash add an attractor element to an otherwise simple and natural-looking fly. Highly effective in rivers and streams where caddis are present, especially when fished near the bottom as part of a nymph rig.

Presentation
This pattern fishes well year-round in a Nymph Rig, especially when presented near the bottom. It is most commonly ties on as the smaller dropper to match the subtle profile of natural insects.
Fished in tandem with a highly visible dry fly acting as an indicator, this setup allows the nymph to suspend higher in the water column - ideal for targeting trout feeding just below the surface on emerging insects or drifting nymphs. A deadly combination during hatch transitions or in shallow riffles.
