The Baffled Caddis was developed as a hybrid between an adult and spent caddis. I wanted a single go to pattern that would cover the entire caddis adult lifespan. The Baffled Caddis encompassed everything I was looking for and is always on one of my rods ready to go. It works well in both moving and still water. The X wrapped CDC fibers give the fly built in motion and great floatability when mixed with the elk hair wings. It also uses few materials and is quick and easy to tie.
