Subtle. Realistic. Deadly Effective.
Designed by John Barr to imitate the natural caddis larvae that build tiny protective nets along stream bottoms, the Net Builder Caddis Larva in Brown is a highly realistic pattern that excels in both freestone and tailwater environments across the Eastern Sierra.
With its segmented body, natural earthy tones, and sparse profile, this fly imitates the bottom-crawling caddis that trout feed on year-round—especially in cold, clean streams and spring creeks. Fish it as your anchor fly in a nymph rig or trail it behind a heavier attractor to target trout hugging the bottom.
Subtle but deadly, this pattern is a must-have for matching the hatch when trout turn selective.
