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.
The Convertible is a unique mayfly design in the dry fly world. It is one of the few bugs that can be fished in two phases of the hatch: The adult split wing and the spent spinner. For over a year now the Convertible has been terrorizing fish in every mayfly hatch we have delivered it in. We like to use the word, "revolutionary" when we talk about this design because that description characterizes the Convertible perfectly!! Here's why:
By pinching under the wing, you can then convert the bug back into a split or dual-wing adult. This is a very cool bug!! If you enjoyed fishing the No Hackle, you will love the Convertible. The best part is it is virtually maintenance free—made with durable bear hair and will not fray like duck quill.
