{{+1}}TBH chocolate caddis nymph{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly whilst not being representational of any particular caddis is a good buggy looking fly that incorporates a hot spot in the form of a ultra violet (UV) emerging wing bud.
Caddis are are common throughout the year but with the greater concentrations occurring from September through to March. Caddis inhabit both running and still water and are a significant food source for trout and are often reputed to represent up to 30% of a trout's diet. Caddis nymphs typically adopt a arched shape when free living, are dislodged from their casing or when they are emerging. Colours range from light olive through to tan and brown.
This fly is a must for any river fly box.
