This “King of Caddis” is ruling the dry fly world with an iron fist!! In still water compounds like Hebgen Lake, Montana, or Ph.D. fish on the Harriman Ranch, Idaho, or West Slope cutthroats on Kelly Creek and the St. Joe’s in Idaho, this fly has wreaked havoc over really smart fish. The beautifully striated biot bodies, the two-stage CDC wing, and the front nose antennae give this bug the most life-like silhouette of any caddis sold, bar none. We recommend the use of Lochsa floatant on this series of flies.
A big smart trout is equipped with many keen senses that detect your presence. Paramount on that list is its ability to see perfectly and to differentiate precise colors. A bright florescent-colored fly line in close proximity will spook that fish perpetually. The single most important requirement in a dry fly line is color. Thankfully the manufacturers at Cortland still understand stealth as an important principle to hooking big fish. We're proud to offer Modern Trout fly lines with the wonderful combination of affordability, performance, and stealth in moss green.
