A super floating caddis with a low profile in the
water is a deadly combination on creeks. Utilize this pattern
in the evenings when the tan caddis returns and mates
on the water with much success. It floats so well
that it can also be utilized as a strike indicator for
weighted nymph droppers doubling your chances
to catch trout.
