Uses

Imitates the larvae of the green rock worm caddis (genus Rhyacophila), which is often found drifting in rivers.

Dead drift near the bottom with an indicator or tight line presentation. If you are on a river that has a large population of free-living caddis, this is a good fly choice in the spring. Riffly areas are especially productive.
