CADDIS CATCH ALL

Description

Caddis Catch All is the ultimate multitool in a trout angler’s dry fly box. This robust, high-riding attractor mimics a range of insects, including caddis, stoneflies, and even grasshoppers. With its buoyant foam body, flashy underwing, and prominent elk or deer hair top wing, this fly is built to stay afloat in fast currents and turbulent pocket water.

Its generalist profile makes it highly adaptable: fish it during a caddis hatch, prospect riffles where golden stones are present, or even swing it near grassy banks when terrestrials are active. The added sparkle from synthetic elements gives it visibility and strike-triggering movement, while the natural wing materials maintain a realistic look from below.

The Catch All is particularly effective when used in dry-dropper rigs, where its floatation supports weighted nymphs without sinking. It also doubles as a strike indicator when conditions allow, combining form and function in one durable, confidence-inspiring pattern.

Whether you’re fishing Western freestones, Appalachian creeks, or alpine streams, the Caddis Catch All deserves a permanent place in your dry fly lineup. When you’re unsure what’s hatching—or want to cover multiple food forms with one cast—this pattern gets attention and gets eaten
