About this fly

A caddis hatch can produce bugs ranging in sizes from #12-#20. All caddis have wings that lay down in a pup tent like formation. They are easily mistaken for moths. The color variation is wide too. The larvae can range in color from bright green, dark olive, beige, brown, black, and orange. The adults are typically brown, black, tan, light olive, dark olive, or orange.
