Everfloat Caddis

Emerger patterns are kind of the odd duck in the fly pattern world. They are meant to sit in the subsurface the very top section of the water column. Most emerger patterns end up sinking as they travel downstream, unlike real emergers which rise. The Everfloat Caddis is the emerger pattern that will not sink on you. The foam body keeps it afloat right on the top of the water column just like a caddis emergering from the water for the first time. When chasing trout during a caddis hatch and you see the slurping flies from the surface, tie one of these babies on and hold on. Flies often get hung up in the surface film, before taking flight, they are especially vulnerable at this time.
