The Umpqua Mathews’ X Caddis is a highly effective dry fly designed to imitate a caddis emerger, perfectly replicating the moment when the insect is most vulnerable and attractive to feeding trout. Its sparse, realistic design includes a trailing shuck to suggest an emerging caddis, which triggers aggressive strikes from fish targeting these insects. The Mathews’ X Caddis floats well and is easy to track on the water, making it a favorite for fishing during caddis hatches. Whether on a quiet stream or a bustling river, this fly is essential for any angler targeting surface-feeding trout.
