Product Description

Deep Sparkle Caddis Pupa — Created by Gary LaFontaine in the mid-1970s after three years of scuba diving to observe live caddis behavior underwater; featured in his 1981 book Caddisflies, this pattern imitates the early emergence stage of pupae drifting near the bottom
Early-Stage Caddis Pupa Imitation — Represents caddis pupae as they exit their cocoons and drift along the riverbed or mid-water column during spring through fall hatches; the sparkle yarn imitates trapped air bubbles around the pupa
Sparkle Yarn Construction — Hand-tied with Antron or sparkle yarn sheath for air-bubble flash, added weight for sink rate, plus dubbing body, legs, and antennae for a natural profile and movement in the current
For Subsurface Presentations — Fish dead-drifted, swung, or use with an indicator on freestone rivers, tailwaters, and mountain streams; suitable for brown, rainbow, brook, and cutthroat trout during caddis pupation periods in western, eastern, and other fisheries
Practical Pattern for Nymph and Wet Fly Boxes — A useful choice for targeting trout feeding on pupae below the surface; works in deep nymphing or swinging techniques during periods of caddis activity
