Tied on a strong Ahrex barbless hook, this CDC emerger perfectly represents the moment when a grannom caddis struggles through the surface film to hatch. The soft, mobile CDC breathes life into the fly, creating a natural shimmer and footprint that trout find irresistible during the hatch.
Designed for April and early-season fishing, this pattern excels when grannoms are emerging and trout are feeding high in the water. It sits low and half-submerged, making it a deadly choice for selective fish that refuse fully floating dries.
Beyond the spring grannom hatch, the natural caddis profile and lifelike movement make it a superb all-round emerger for rivers and stillwaters throughout the year.
Barbless for easy release and ideal for modern catch-and-release fishing.
