About this fly
The Caddis Pupa is more complex than larvae and is available to fish in three different areas. The imitations are similar in appearance but they are fished at different depths. Trout take pupae as they drift along the bottom prior to swimming to the surface, as they swim to the surface and as they drift subsurface prior to emergence. We need three patterns; one weighted which can be drifted on the bottom with the legs in the resting position, one weighted with the middle legs fringed at the tips and projecting forward. This would be allowed to sink and then raised to the surface. The third is unweighted with the legs in the resting position to be drifted just under the surface.
