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.
If you fish the early season stonefly hatch, it's imperative that you spin this bug. Built to fish tight cutbanks, slow moving riffle, and gentle foam lines. It will catch more giant fish than any other early season pattern available. A bit of a booger to tie, but well worth your efforts! The most PRODUCTIVE skwala pattern that you will ever fish!
