Description
Fly Type: This is a dry fly designed to imitate an emerging caddis pupa. It sits in the surface film of the water, mimicking the moment a caddis is struggling to break through and become an adult. Its segmented body and forward-facing wing are key features that make it an effective imitation.
Best Suited For: This is a fantastic fly for catching trout (rainbow, brown, and brook trout), as well as grayling. It is highly effective when fish are "sipping" on the surface during a caddis hatch, but not fully committing to adult flies.
Best Time to Fish: This fly is most productive from late spring through autumn during a caddis hatch. Caddis often emerge in the evening, making the hours around dusk a prime time to use this fly.
Water Type: This is a freshwater fly.
Where to Fish: The Superpuppa is best used on rivers and streams where caddis are abundant. Fish it in riffles and runs, especially in the seams where faster water meets slower water. You can also twitch it to imitate a struggling insect.
Other Value: The Superpuppa is a very durable and buoyant fly. Its realistic profile can fool even the most selective fish.
