In this week’s episode watch as Kyle ties up a nasty caddis pupae, he calls the Jigged Caddis! Fishing with caddis pupae imitations can be incredibly productive, especially during a caddis hatch and highwater. This bug is very effective in run-off as well because it can imitate so many bugs in the system. We like to dead drift this guy, so it moves naturally in the current; but don't forget to swing it too, epically at the end of your dead drift. Letting the fly swing at the end of the drift can simulate a pupa rising to the surface. For more tips & tricks on fishing this bug up or other bugs we have tied, head over to the AvidMax blog: blog.avidmax.com/2024/06/06/jigged-caddis/
