GLASS TAIL CADDIS

Description

The Glass Tail Caddis is a highly effective fly pattern crafted to imitate the larval or pupal stages of caddisflies, one of the most important food sources for trout throughout the year. This pattern stands out with its distinctive glass bead tail, which adds a natural shine and flash that mimics the light-reflecting characteristics of real caddis larvae. The segmented body, typically tied in olive, tan, or green tones, offers a lifelike silhouette, while the carefully dubbed thorax and soft hackle create natural movement in the water.

The subtle flash of the glass tail serves as a strike trigger, particularly in clear or slightly stained water where trout scrutinize their food closely. Designed to be fished subsurface, the Glass Tail Caddis excels when dead-drifted under an indicator, tight-lined, or swung through riffles and seams during a hatch.

Durable and versatile, this pattern is a reliable choice from spring through late fall. The Glass Tail Caddis is a must-have fly for anglers targeting trout feeding on caddis at various stages of their lifecycle.
