Overview

The Umpqua Antonio's Superman Caddis is a high-floating dry fly designed to imitate adult caddisflies with unmatched effectiveness and visibility. Developed by accomplished tyer Antonio Rodrigues, this fly incorporates key features that make it a standout performer across a wide range of fishing conditions. With a bulky deer hair parachute and oversized hackle, it rides high on the water—even in rough or fast currents—making it easy to see and highly attractive to feeding trout.

Its realistic profile and buoyant construction make it ideal for targeting surface-feeding trout during active caddis hatches. The pattern’s visibility and stability shine during low-light conditions like evening rises, when a reliable silhouette on the water makes all the difference. The deer hair and hackle combo keeps the fly upright and floating long after traditional patterns would begin to sink.

Whether you're casting into freestone rivers, boulder-strewn pocket water, or slow-moving tailouts, Antonio’s Superman Caddis is built to perform. It’s durable enough to withstand repeated strikes and effective enough to stay in your rotation season after season. Available in multiple sizes, this versatile pattern is a must-have for any angler targeting caddis hatches with confidence.Read More +
