Hydro Caddis Larva by Rich Strolis
Another great looking caddis larva pattern by Rich Strolis.
Gotta Have the Goo!
What really makes this streamlined weighted caddis larva pattern pop is the Clear Cure Goo Hydro top coat. In addition to making flies nearly indestructible, the “Goo” really makes the colors in this Czech-style nymph jump out and sparkle. Like most of the nymphs that Rich ties, the Hydro Larva is pretty simple. Tie a few up and give them a try – I know I will!
