FAQs

What size tippet should I use?

A 5X or 6X tippet is generally recommended for use with a size 16 fly.

How should I store the fly?

Store the fly in a fly box to protect it from damage and keep it organized.

Can I use this fly in still water?

While primarily designed for moving water, it can be effective in still water where caddis are present, but the presentation may need to be adjusted.

How often should I replace the fly?

Replace the fly when it becomes damaged or loses its effectiveness, or when the hook is bent or blunted.

What is the best way to present the fly?

Present the fly with a natural drift, mimicking the movement of a caddis pupa. Adjust your retrieve based on water conditions and fish activity.

Troubleshooting

Fly not catching fish.

Check your presentation and retrieve. Experiment with different depths and speeds. Ensure the fly is drifting naturally.

Check your leader for twists. Adjust your casting technique to avoid tangles. Use a tippet material that minimizes memory.
