The caddis is probably the most common food of trout in our rivers. Very successful in both winter and summer. Trout love them

Hook: 10 – 18

Thread: Black

Tail: Deer or moose hair (could use brown cock hackle-fibres

Body: Clipped natural deer hair

Hackle: Brown cock

Wings: Grizzle cock hackle tips
