Killer Caddis

When Caddis Are on the Menu, This Is the Answer

The Killer Caddis is a no-nonsense caddis larva imitation that gets straight to the point. An iridescent caddis green bead body glows with a natural, translucent quality that perfectly mimics the soft, segmented abdomen of a cased caddis larva — the kind trout pick off the bottom all season long. A bead head gets it down fast and adds just enough weight to keep it in the zone.

What's in the Pattern

• Hook - Fulling Mill Heavy Barbless FM5067
• Iridescent caddis green bead body — translucent, light-catching, and a near-perfect match for natural caddis larvae
• Bead head — sinks quickly and provides a focal point that draws the strike
• Hand-tied at Ty's Flies with clean, consistent proportions across every size

A Year-Round Producer

Caddis larvae are present in trout streams twelve months a year, which makes the Killer Caddis one of the most reliable nymphs in your box regardless of season. Fish it on the bottom as a point fly, trail it behind a heavier anchor, or run it on a tight-line rig through broken water. Available in sizes 12–18.

Simple. Accurate. Deadly. Hand-tied at Ty's Flies.
