How to tie cased caddisfly in less than one minute

Caddisfly larvae are well known as a underwater architects and they build shelter cases around their bodies. They use silk to hold together building materials like sand, small peaces of rock or aquatic plants. Fishing with imitations of cased caddisflies near the bottom of the river is the most productive in the begging of the season (and later of course), so we recommend this pattern for big trout in this period. Can be tied on regular hooks (sizes 4 - 12), or on jig heads. This pattern is the most simple case caddisfly jig to be tied in less than one minute. All you need is fly tying thread, jig hook, a piece of yellow sponge, and some dubbing material. Simple follow the pictures.

New ff season, the countdown has begun...

The new fly fishing trout season begins on the 1st of March here in Croatia. You can try your luck on some other rivers in Croatia and the surrounding area, but we recommend you Vitunjcica and Gacka rivers. Both are very cold, and water level can be very high during this period, but I believe that after the long winter period the heart of real fly fisherman will be happy by the fact that once again we can even try to catch and release our beloved trout, no matter how successful will be in the first days of the new fly fishing season. Tight lines!
