Caddis Jig Nymph is built for one job: get down fast and look alive. The slotted tungsten bead gives it immediate sink-rate, while the black spiky thorax and soft fibres pulse in the current like legs and gills. The pale body suggests a fresh caddis larva drifting free, and that red collar adds a trigger point that turns follows into takes.
This pattern is a quiet assassin in clear rocky streams, tailouts, runs, and pocket water—especially when fish won’t move far but will crush an easy high-protein meal.
Silver slotted tungsten bead for quick sink rate
Jig hook design fishes hook-point-up (fewer snags)
Spiky black thorax creates movement and “leg” profile
Translucent white body imitates caddis larva perfectly
Hot red collar = strike trigger in cold or clear water
Ideal for Euro nymphing, indicator rigs, and tight-line fishing
WHEN TO FISH IT
Best conditions
When trout are feeding subsurface on caddis larvae/pupae
Cold water, high flows, or when fish are holding deep
Clear water where pale-bodied nymphs stand out
Where it shines
Runs, seams, pocket water, riffle edges, drop-offs
Rocky streams and freestone rivers
Dams and flowing inflows when fish are hugging bottom
HOW TO FISH IT (Quick Tips)
Rig options
Euro / tight-line: Fish it as your point fly, add a smaller dropper above.
Indicator: Run it as the anchor nymph, then trail a lighter nymph 40–60cm behind.
Two-fly “depth finder”: This fly gets you down—let it set the level, then refine.
Retrieve
Dead drift first. If nothing happens, add tiny lifts or short pulses—those black fibres “breathe” and trigger eats.
