This month’s fly is the net spinning caddis larva. I got this pattern from the Hatch Guide for New England Streams by Thomas Ames. It has become a “go to” nymph for me at most times of the summer fishing season because that type of caddis is so frequently found here.
Hook -curved caddis #12 – 16
thread - brown
tail - ostrich herl
body - olive dubbing
rib - small copper wire
back - turkey tail fibers
head - brown dubbing
