The Goddard Caddis is a buoyant and durable dry fly designed to imitate adult caddisflies skittering across the surface. Known for its distinctive clipped deer hair body, this pattern floats exceptionally well—even in fast-moving water—making it a top choice for riffles, runs, and pocket water where trout are aggressively feeding on caddis.
The spun and trimmed deer hair gives the fly a natural caddis silhouette while providing the lift and resilience needed for repeated drifts or aggressive takes. The elk hair wing and subtle hackle offer added realism and movement, mimicking a fluttering or struggling adult caddis.
Fish it solo or as part of a dry-dropper rig during summer evenings or whenever caddisflies are active. Its visibility, buoyancy, and buggy profile make it a confidence pattern for anglers fishing both freestone and tailwater rivers.
Best for:
- Summer caddis hatches
- Riffles, fast runs, and pocket water
- Dry-dropper setups with small nymphs or emergers
📌 Pro Tip: Skate or twitch the Goddard Caddis across the surface to imitate a fleeing adult. This pattern can trigger explosive strikes when trout are dialed in on movement.
