The Hot Butt Caddis Barbless is an Elk Hair Caddis variation with a deer-hair wing and a bright rear trigger. It retains the roof-shaped caddis silhouette and buoyancy of the classic pattern while adding a visible focal point for searching broken water.
Fish it through river riffles, glides and bank edges on a drag-free drift, then try a short lift or skate to suggest an adult caddis moving across the surface. The strong Ahrex dry-fly hook is barbless for straightforward release.
