The X Caddis Olive Gray performed well in a variety of streams. It matched the emerging caddis perfectly and caught several trout during a morning drift. Simple design, but very effective.

I’ve used this pattern in both slow and fast water. It’s a solid emerger that holds up well in the current. The olive gray color blends naturally with the environment.

Tied in the USA as advertised. The shuck addition makes a noticeable difference in how it mimics a real caddis. I caught a few fish on it during a late afternoon cast.
