Stick Caddis

The humble Stick Caddis is a major staple in the diet of stillwater trout and a pattern that is deadly not only in lakes, but in rivers as well. Whilst a relatively simple pattern at first glance, this very realistically imitates the natural cased caddis as it swims up through the water column, making it a very effective fly to have in an fly box.

When the fish are being stubborn, this is often one of the few patterns that will get a take. Backwater stalking on big rivers becomes a whole new game when you have a few of these at the ready. And when it’s early in a hatch, a Stick Caddis trailed behind the dry can often get a strike as the dry goes unnoticed.

All flies sold at Troutlore are tied by hand in Australia by Rob from Troutlore, or designated tyers for specific patterns who are noted in the descriptions. This fly pattern is tied on quality Ahrex hooks and using the best materials, this is a great addition to any fly box.

All flies in the "Troutlore Flies" range are tied to order, after completed payment. This usually requires a 5-7 day turnaround depending on the current tying queue. Your complete order will be shipped as one after all flies have been tied. We will contact you is further unforeseen delays arise with a fly order. Flies tied by other Australian fly tyers are kept in stock and up to date quantities are shown, for immediate dispatch.

Of course, if you want to create all sorts of natural looking streamer fly patterns, then our ever growing range of natural hairs and furs is the ideal place to start for something different to the synthetic option. Don’t just settle on looking in the Hare & Rabbit category when you’re chasing quality winging and body furs, check out the Specialty Species Category of the Troutlore Flytying Store as well. Plus, we keep a great selection of Calf and Bucktail as well, in a big range of colours to take care of your freshwater and saltwater flytying needs. If you can’t find a product you are specifically looking for, get in touch and we will see if it can be sourced, and kept in stock. Plus, you can keep up to date with new releases through our newsletter and social media outlets.
