Streaking Caddis

Streaking Caddis

The Streaking Caddis dry fly gives you an active surface presentation when trout are responding to moving caddis. Fish this size 10 pattern on a drag-free drift, then try a short skate or gentle twitch to suggest an adult caddis moving across the water. It is a useful change of pace when a motionless fly goes unnoticed, letting you explore runs, current seams, and riffle tails with both natural drifts and deliberate movement.

Pattern Details

• Style: Caddis dry fly / surface attractor
• Best Water: Trout rivers and streams, especially runs, current seams, and riffle tails
• Techniques: Dead-drift, skate across the surface, or add brief twitches followed by pauses
• Size: 10

Keep the Streaking Caddis in your dry-fly box for caddis activity and those moments when a little surface movement makes a more inviting presentation.
