Things You'll Need:
- Fresh Caddis fly pupa
- Thread
- Lead wire
- Flexibody
- Deer hair
-
Step 1
Lazily creep and bob the Caddis fly pupa. This technique resembles young Caddis fly pupa recently arriving at the surface after hatching in the waters below. It attracts trout that are just cruising off the shoreline looking for the recent emerged Caddis.
-
Step 2
Use Caddis flies in the fall. By then, the Caddis fly is older and probably in the adult stage. Adult Caddis flies attract bigger fish like steelhead and salmon. Fish the flies slightly under the surface of the water in a darting pattern.
-
Step 3
Fish with caseless Caddis fly or pupa. Novce fly fisherman find them easy to use and make. Mink hair, deer hair and even seal hair can replicate the young Caddis fly pupa. If you're fishing blind, or with an obstructed sight line, use a lightweight bite indicator on your line to observe even the slightest motion to set the hook.
-
Step 4
Determine the right water environment for Caddis flies. Bite indicators enable fisherman to fish any type of water environment, whether it be around a dark pile of drift wood, clear bright creek or at the bottom of a water fall. Bite indicators react to the slightest nibble, including those that the fisherman may not be able to see with the naked eye.
