This week, Kyle is in the studio crafting a viewer-requested fly pattern called the Clueless Caddis. This caddis imitation is loaded with buggy characteristics and features just enough hi-vis material on top to keep it visible on the water, even when riding low. Kyle tested it out on a popular creek just west of Denver and had great success fooling some trout. Give the Clueless Caddis a try, and let us know what you think!
