Overview

The Umpqua Better Foam Caddis is a meticulously designed dry fly that effectively imitates adult caddisflies, a staple in the diet of many trout species. Crafted with durable foam material, this fly offers exceptional buoyancy, allowing it to ride low in the water column, closely mimicking the natural posture of a hatching caddis. Its realistic profile and lifelike movement make it an indispensable pattern for anglers targeting caddis hatches across diverse fishing conditions.​

The foam construction not only enhances floatation but also ensures durability, enabling the fly to withstand multiple strikes without losing its effectiveness. This resilience reduces the need for frequent fly changes, allowing anglers to focus more on fishing. The Better Foam Caddis is versatile enough to be fished alone or used to support a dropper fly, making it suitable for various fishing techniques.​

Available in a range of colors—including Black, October Orange, Olive, and Tan—and sizes from 8 to 20, this fly can match the specific caddis species prevalent in your fishing area. Such versatility ensures that you have the right imitation to entice trout during different caddis hatches throughout the season.Read More +
