Peek-A-Boo Caddis

Caddis larvae are on the menu year-round, and trout know it. The Peek-A-Boo Caddis is a slim, segmented larvae imitation designed to slip into the feeding lane and stay there — right where trout expect to find it tumbling along the bottom.

The pattern gets its name from the subtle flash of the body peeking through the dubbed thorax, mimicking the translucent abdomen of a natural caddis larva. It's the kind of detail that makes a difference when fish are locked in and looking closely.
