Overview

The Umpqua Jiggy Caddis Pupa in Olive is a high-performing Euro-nymph pattern built to mimic the natural caddis pupae trout rely on throughout the season. The olive coloration closely matches one of the most common aquatic insect hues, making it a reliable match-the-hatch option for nearly any waterbody. Its slim profile and realistic segmentation mimic the taper and shape of ascending caddis pupae, while a soft hackle collar breathes life into the presentation with subtle movement.

Designed on a barbless jig hook with a tungsten bead, this pattern sinks quickly and rides hook-up to avoid snags and ensure optimal positioning in the water column. The soft hackle pulses in the drift, simulating emerging legs or gill movement—particularly enticing during active caddis hatches. This version performs equally well in pocket water, seams, and technical tailwater scenarios, and excels when dead-drifted in Euro-nymph or tightline rigs. With a clean silhouette, fast sink rate, and proven color scheme, the Jiggy Caddis Pupa in Olive deserves a permanent spot in any subsurface fly box.Read More +
