The Bead Head Flashabou Caddis in Green is a high-visibility, high-confidence nymph that mimics emerging caddis with a little extra flash to stand out in moving water or deeper stillwater zones. The bright green body suggests the natural coloring of caddis larvae and pupae, while the flashabou ribbing and bead head give it added visibility and movement that triggers strikes.
This pattern is especially deadly during caddis hatches on Sierra streams like the East Walker, Hot Creek, and the Upper Owens, but it’s just as effective in alpine lakes where caddis are part of the stillwater menu. Fish it on a dead drift, as part of a tandem nymph rig, or even as a dropper behind a dry.
