Tying Some Caddis Pupae
My first post on the importance of caddis pupae goes back some 14 years ago. True. And I still feel they are one of the most valuable flies in your bag of trout tricks. Okay, I’ll even take it a step farther – I’m referring to bead-head caddis pupae.
Why caddis pupae? They are the majority of hatches you see on most streams. And they span the entire year. Now your collection of caddis pupae should come in wide range of sizes. Likely from size 10# on down to size 24#. So you’ll need a range of hooks and beads to match.
