Friday Night Flies – Caribou Caddis
Friday Night Flies – Caribou Caddis
The Caribou Caddis is a great beginner fly as it does not utilize the hackle feather normally associated with an Elk Hair Caddis. With the epic caddis hatches that happen on the Columbia River it’s great to have something that not a lot of people are using. Just standing out in the crowd sometimes can seriously pay off! Give this pattern a go and make sure to keep a couple in your fly box!
