The Sow Bug Soft Hackle TB is the same as our Sow Bug Soft Hackle, but with a hot tungsten bead to wake up those sleepy winter trout, and to get a little extra depth in fast runs.
The Zeppelin Caddis, with its detached bubbleshaped body and scratchy thorax, uniquely combines a low floating profile like an emerging pupa with great visibility and buoyancy, and it has cracked the code on fussy eaters.
The Staggered Stone takes a different approach, and closely resembles the orderly appearance and subtle colors of smaller stoneflies like Yellow Sallies.
