Caddis Larva - Green

The Caddis Larva - Green is a highly effective nymph pattern that imitates the early aquatic life stage of the caddisfly, one of the most important food sources for trout in both still and moving water. With its natural green body and segmented profile, this fly is a staple for matching caddis larval activity, especially in freestone and spring creeks where caddis are abundant. It works exceptionally well in clear water and during non-hatch periods when fish are feeding below the surface.

Tied with premium materials, the Caddis Larva - Green features a soft, segmented body with realistic movement and subtle translucency that closely resembles the natural insect. The pattern is often weighted or paired with a beadhead to ensure it reaches the bottom quickly, where caddis larvae dwell and where trout are actively searching for food.

To fish the Caddis Larva - Green effectively, dead drift it near the streambed using a tight-line nymphing or indicator rig. It pairs well with an attractor fly or can serve as a dropper beneath a dry. Fish it in riffles, seams, and pocket water where caddis larvae are likely to be dislodged and carried downstream.
