This fly was originally used as a steelhead fly for the streams of Lake Erie. Although it represents a
caddis, the “bright” dubbing has a lot of attractor qualities to it. I’ve done really well with this on the
streams in Roscoe NY and on the Hous. Try it in cream on the Farmington. This is a very easy
pattern to tie and very productive.
