Bailee’s Cased Caddis
A depth-driven cased caddis pattern designed to imitate the natural cases trout feed on year-round in New Zealand rivers.
This fly sinks quickly and tracks tight to the bottom, making it deadly in fast runs, pocket water, and along seams where caddis larvae are dislodged. The slim, weighted profile gets into the strike zone fast while maintaining a natural drift — even in pushy flows.
Tied on barbless jig hooks with carefully matched bead sizes, this is a reliable anchor or dropper option when trout are feeding deep and selectively.
Best fished:
– As an anchor nymph in euro rigs
– In fast water and broken pocket water
– During higher flows or when fish are glued to the bottom
