Charcoal Caddis

A caddis pattern used to imitate Chimarra, dark Brachycentrus, Psilotreta sp. and other dark hued caddis species.  Tied using our Charcoal Spectrumized Dubbing.  The adult floats like a cork with a hackle palmered body and a deer hair wing.  Split the deer hair wing down and to the sides to represent a spent caddis.  Use the pupa pattern before the hatch or as a caddis pupa emerger during the hatch for selective trout.
