Olive,Black,Brown  Woolly Worm Caddis Larva ,The Woolly Worm fly pattern is designed to imitate the larval stage of a caddis as it crawls around the bottom of lakes and rivers. Trout and carp  find these grubs good to eat. This is why this fly pattern is a good fish producer.

THE WOOLLY WORM FLY PATTERN
These palmered flies with short red tails are very popular in globaly  as a good large larval imitation generally categorized as a nymph. It comes in many colors. The palmered hackle gives the impression of movement and causes water vibrations that are detected by predatory trout and salmon. They are ideal for rapid pockets.

Caddis flies at the larval stage protect them selves by building a case. The small red tail tries to simulate the head or legs projecting from the protective case. When birds eat cassed cadis larva they take off the case before eating the lava. Fish cannot do this so eat the larva and the case whole. This explains why you often find pine needles, bits of wood and grains of gravel in the otherwise empty stomach of rainbow and brown trout. Have a selection of different colored woolly worms in your fly box and try to match the color of the materials the local caddis larval worms are using to protect themselves. Fish these flies deep, with short jerks on the line.
