Finfetcher Caddis

The Fly Czar is always on the lookout for fresh patterns to add to the collection of proven winners here in our fly bins. With Caddis taking over as the "hatch of the day" it's no surprise that we feature the Finfetcher Caddis as our fly of the week. While most of us carry a large assortment of Caddis patterns, finding one that sets itself apart from the rest is hard.

The Finfetcher ticks all the boxes when it comes fly design and fishability. The pink parachute makes it easy to spot in choppy water, while the Grizzly/Brown hackle keeps it floating. Add a touch on Peacock herl to the body and you have the perfect Caddis pattern.
