Hellion Caddis, Craven's
This is another one of Charlie's brand-new patterns coming at you a little early. The Hellion Caddis is Charlie's modern take on his killer Mugly Caddis pattern, but with more modern, durable and buoyant materials. A scruffy, loop winged pattern with a hot spot for visibility and a shaggy body to sit low in the film. The Hellion works equally well as an adult caddis and the wing can be easily spread to imitate the spent stage as well as sinking it as a hatching caddis. One fly for all summer. Getcha some. "The Hellion Caddis is a more modern, updated version of my old Mugly Caddis pattern. Utilizing polypropylene macrame yarn for a looped wing that creates tons of surface area over a raggedy body and thorax then topped with a subtle loop of hot pink to make it easier to find on the water, the Hellion is an incredible adult, spent or even caddis emerger pattern if you let it sink a bit at the end of your drift. This is truly one of the best floating caddis patterns I have ever used
