Umpqua Elk Hair Caddis - 2-Pack Brown, 12

Dry flies are designed to be fished on the top of the water. Dry flies float either on their own, or with the assisstance of a floatant such as silicon based gel, or dry fly shake. They can be fished in rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes alike. Many fish will rise the surface to inspect a dry fly and decide if they want to strike at it or not.

Dry Fly Patterns for Fly Fishing - The Fly Project

Trout feed on all stages of Caddis, but emerging caddis seem to be a little extra special. If you could snap a photo of an adult caddis just as it is emerging from its former larva body you’d have RIO’s Body Double. This pattern sits with its back side below the water surface on a curved shank hook which best replicates the pupating caddis. The front half of the hook sits above the water line replicating the freshly emerged adult.
