Rump Caddis

[NJTroutbum]

The Rump Caddis is an effective emerger pattern year-round. Fished either as a dropper or drifted under an indicator it is a steady producer on most all waters. However, it really shines when fish are chasing emergers to the surface. In that situation fish from upstream dead-drifting to place your fly in their feeding zone at the end of the drift, then apply a Leisenring Lift twitching the fly to the surface as it rises in the current.
