It features a natural peacock quill-inspired design to replicate the segmentation and coloration of real caddis. A small flash located below the quill creates a distinct ‘hot spot’ that has proven effective in catching fish.

This caddis has a very natural appearance and drops smoothly. The flash below the quill is subtle but noticeable to fish. I’ve used it in clear streams and it’s caught several trout.
Molly Baker –
Great imitation of a real caddis. The chartreuse color works well in mid-water. The hot spot flash is effective and the weight helps it sink fast.
Rebecca Scott –
Looks authentic and performs well in moderate currents. A bit heavy for very shallow water, but overall a solid choice for mid-water fishing.

I’ve tried several caddis patterns and this one stands out. The natural quill design and flash are exactly what I was looking for. Works well in both early morning and late afternoon.
