Caddis Larva

I will be heading for Montana in a few weeks and plan to do some fly fishing there after a long hiatus. I’m gearing up for the trip and saw these caddis larvae flies and decided to give them a shot as they are generally effective year round. I’m about the farthest away one could be from being a hand tied fly expert, but these flies look pretty good to me. They are tightly tied and look like they are fairly durable. The colors, color pattern, and fly shape are what one would expect a caddis larvae to look like. If I find the flies are problematic or highly effective while using them, I will come back and update this review. The price of the flies is reasonable.

I’ve ordered several fly assortments from Floating Feather and have had good luck with them. Their flies are reasonably priced, the quality is excellent, and each pattern is tied with impressive consistency. The hooks are solid, and the eyes are always clear and easy for me to thread—something my aging eyes really appreciate.This caddis larva assortment (I got the brown set in sizes 14–18) is another winner. The flies look terrific, a clean, realistic pattern and tidy tying throughout. I haven’t had the chance to fish them yet, but based on appearance and quality, I have no doubt they’ll be productive on the water.A great value, great quality, and a great addition to the fly box—an easy 5‑star pick.

I picked up this set for my husband, and it has quickly become one of the go-to options in his fly box. He likes having a variety of sizes and colors on hand, especially when the water conditions change, and these have proven useful in a range of streams and rivers. The flies are well made and hold up nicely after repeated use.Most importantly, they actually work, which is what matters most to him. He has had good success catching fish with them, even on days when nothing else seemed to be happening. It is a practical set that gives him confidence when he is out on the water and trying to match what the trout are feeding on.

These nymph flies replicate natural caddis larvae in size and shape. They are well crafted with tight, secure wraps. By ordering these, I saved a bunch of time and will spend it on the water. I think the cream colored ones match my local larvae, looking forward to testing that out.

These look like they’ll be perfect for trout fishing in streams, rivers, and lakes. My husband is an avid fly fisherman, and caddis larvae are one of those patterns he always likes to have on hand because trout feed on them year-round.The assortment of colors and sizes makes it easy to match different water conditions without carrying several separate packs. The flies appear well tied, and the weighted design should help get them down into the strike zone where trout are feeding.They’re ideal for fishing under an indicator, Euro nymphing, or tight-lining through pocket water. Even on days when there aren’t any obvious hatches, this is the type of fly that can still produce fish.If you enjoy trout fishing, this assortment is a great addition to your fly box and should be useful throughout the entire season.

I love fishing for trout with nymphs. These flies mimic aquatic larvae that spend most of their time swimming about in streams and rivers. These nymphs are weighted with a tiny brass ball at the head of the lure - allowing the lure to sink into deeper pools where large fish like to congregate. This assortment has four different color patterns to mimic a variety of aquatic insects, and to make them more visible in different water conditions. I particularly like the darker color - reminds me a bit of a "Zug Bug", which is my favorite fly pattern.These flies are well-tied and don't look like they'll fall apart after a few casts.

I've had good luck fishing caddis patterns over the years, so I was interested to see how these would perform. Right out of the package, I was impressed with the consistency of the tying. Each fly looked clean, well-proportioned, and durable, with no loose materials or sloppy wraps.I fished a few of these in a local stream and they drifted naturally through the current. The profile looks realistic underwater, and the flies got down where the fish were holding without much trouble. I was able to hook several trout, and the hooks stayed sharp and held securely throughout the outing.What I appreciate most is that the flies seem built to last. After catching multiple fish and bouncing along some rocky bottom, they still looked good and remained fishable. Having a dozen in the pack is also nice since losing flies is just part of the sport.Overall, I'm very happy with this set. The flies are well tied, fish effectively, and offer good value for anyone targeting trout in streams, rivers, or creeks. I'd gladly keep these stocked in my fly box.
