Most trout streams are full of small, thin cased caddis larvae that live all over rocks on the bottom. They move around and are not tightly attached, so they often drift off the bottom and into the current. I think trout look for them and I have found these larvae in many trout gullets after giving them a throat pump. It’s a great fly on a Euro rig or when fishing a dry dropper when nothing is hatching.
