The Goddard Caddis, originally called the G&H Sedge, was developed by John Goddard and Clive Henry in the 1960s to imitate caddis (or sedges as they are called in the UK) for stillwater fishing. The fly works just as well as a large caddis imitation in trout rivers around the world. We’re sure that the three guys will all tie it differently, so you’ll learn various ways of creating this fly. And you’ll get to vote on who ties the best one.
