JHFLYCO Caddis Life Stages Assortment

If you want to take the guesswork out of caddis fishing, we've built a loaded fly box that covers the full lifecycle — proven patterns at every life stage, balanced sizes, and the hatches that matter most on trout water. This hand-picked assortment combines free-living larva, ascending pupa and emergers, and adult dries to cover the full caddis year — from year-round subsurface worm fishing to the blizzard evening hatches of summer. Inside, you'll find life stage staples — the Green Caddis Larva and Beadhead Hare's Ear Flashback — plus surface workhorses the Elk Hair Caddis, Tentwing Caddis, and Solomon Caddis, all balanced across sizes 10–18 to match the hatch and the season. Each fly is mounted in our JHFLYCO Foam Fly Box in Orange — a high-visibility foam-slit box built to hold your patterns securely and keep them organized through long days on the water. The orange color makes it easy to spot in your pack or on a tailgate, and the slim profile fits cleanly in chest packs and sling bags. Included Patterns 3 of each pattern – 24 flies total Caddis Larva – Green (#14): Imitates the bright green free-living caddis worm trout eat in enormous numbers year-round — a deadly dropper below a heavier nymph or under a dry. Tungsten Bead Walt's Worm Jig (#14): A rough, buggy tungsten jig that gets down fast; its simple segmented profile reads as a caddis larva and an all-purpose searching nymph in one. Beadhead Hare's Ear Flashback (#14): Buggy realism plus a touch of flash — the classic suggestive pattern that fish take as an ascending caddis pupa during the emergence. Elk Hair Caddis (#10): The most versatile adult-caddis dry ever tied — high-floating, easy to see, and deadly whether dead-drifted or skated across a riffle. Elk Hair Caddis – Black (#10): The dark-body version for black and olive caddis and low-light hatches — black body and hackle under a bleached-tan elk wing for a crisp silhouette. Tentwing Caddis (#10): Imitates the caddis at rest, wings folded in the unmistakable tent shape over an orange-brown body — a perfect change-up when fish refuse hair-wing styles. Insect Green Viagra Caddis (#16): A hot insect-green body under a tan hair wing — the caddis dry for when fish key on the bright green of fresh, egg-laying adults. Solomon Caddis (#18): A hair-wing caddis with a downswept brown deer-hair wing and olive body — the smaller, more realistic option for selective fish and tighter hatches. Features JHFLYCO Foam Fly Box Included (Orange): Durable foam-slit fly box with high-visibility orange color for easy locating in your pack Complete Life Stage Coverage: Free-living larva, an ascending pupa, and five adult dries — every stage from the riverbed to the evening rise Subsurface and Surface: A weighted larva and tungsten jig to fish deep all day, plus dries in dark, light, tent-wing, and down-wing styles for the hatch Proven Across the Season: Mother's Day Caddis in spring, blizzard evening hatches through summer, and October Caddis in fall Why Choose the JHFLYCO Caddis Life Stages Assortment? Caddis are one of the most abundant trout foods in moving water — on many rivers they outnumber mayflies in both species and sheer volume. The blizzard evening hatches get all the attention, but trout eat caddis larva and pupa subsurface all day, every day, which is why fishing only the adult dry leaves fish on the table. This curated assortment is built to help you cover caddis through every productive moment — drifting the green larva and tungsten jig deep, swinging the flashback pupa as the emergence builds, and matching the evening rise with four distinct adult silhouettes in the right sizes. From freestone rivers to spring creeks, this all-in-one caddis system helps you stay confident, fish efficiently, and make every drift count.
