Olive X-Caddis
Hook: Tiemco 100, size to match the natural insect. Thread: Olive 8/0 (70 denier). Shuck: Amber Z-Lon. Body: Olive Antron dubbing. Wing: Mottled deer hair. Head: Butt ends of the deer-hair wing. Note: The X-Caddis is the caddis equivalent to the Sparkle Dun. During heavy caddis hatches, larger trout often key in on stillborn caddis, and the X-Caddis is an ideal match. This is also the go-to fly for matching the Mother’s Day caddis hatch in the Rockies. |
