highly effective fly pattern used in freshwater fly fishing to imitate caddisfly larva. It features a bead head, often tungsten or brass, which helps it sink quickly and maintain a natural presentation in the water. The black coloration makes it versatile and suitable for various water conditions and times of year, especially during caddisfly hatches in spring and summer. Anglers typically fish this pattern in streams, rivers, and lakes, using a slow drift beneath a strike indicator or on a tight line to mimic a real caddis larva. Its realistic design and sinking ability make it a popular choice for targeting trout and other freshwater fish like grayling, barble, chub or nase.
