Caddis Pupa

[OneMoreLastCast]

Here’s a very effective Caddis Pupa Pattern to try that is fairly simple to tie.

Unfortunately, some of the pictures didn’t work out, but the ones that did, should be enough.

 

I tie these in Gold and Green and have good success with both on most of the streams and lakes in Alberta and BC.

Works very well when tied with no weight and fished in the surface film as well.

 

Hook: Pupa Style size 12 -16

Ribbing: Larva lace, color of choice, transparent

Under Ribbing: Pearl Flash-a-bou

Beard and Collar: Dark Partridge

White Collar: Fish Fur or equivalent

Legs: Rubber Legs of choice. (Mine are strands from a bungee cord).

Thorax: Course Dubbing, color of choice.

 

1. Weight Hook and tie on thread.

2. Tie in Ribbing with round side against the hook.

3. Tie in Flash

 

4. Wrap Flash over weight to cover and tie off.

5. Wrap Lace over Flash and tie off.

 

6. Tie in White Fish Fur on back, Tie in Partridge Beard on the under side and Wrap Partridge Collar.

7. Tie in Rubber legs and dub in Thorax.

 

8. Whip finish.

Cool looking tie.

tied up a couple very close to this today, but i made them a parachute with grizzly hackle, so that they'll sit right in the foam, which was key 2 nights ago

Yeah, these fished in the film are deadly too. I even gink them up some times and do well.

Very sweet looking Pupa MTB. I will tie some of these up when I can pick up the lace and legs (dont have them currently). Thanks for sharing.
