SB Flies Goddard Caddis Dry Fly
The Goddard Caddis Dry Fly from Springbrook Flies is an iconic profiled caddis dry that features long antennae and a spun deer hair body. John Goddard and friends first tied this huge, buoyant imitation of a caddisfly that floats high and has a very suggestive caddis body shape. This fly can be dead drifted in a foam line but fishes especially well on lakes and reservoirs. Twitch and skate this fly across the water and watch for the take.

This fly performs great on a quiet lake. The deer hair body and long antennae make it look realistic. I used it for a few days and caught several caddis. It floats well and stays on the surface.
Emma King –
A solid imitation that works well in still waters. I tied it on a foam line and saw a few strikes. The body shape is very authentic and it doesn’t sink quickly.
Edward Simpson –
Fished it across a reservoir in the morning and got a good response. The fly stays afloat and moves naturally. Great for beginners and experienced anglers alike.
