Go2 Caddis Pupa 12/20/2025 Photo Album
My post of 01/11/2017 provides introductory information on the genesis of the go2 caddis pupa. This fly continues to be a favorite choice, when I encounter the grannom caddis hatch in the April and early May time period. I have not experienced as much success in recent years, but historically I enjoyed some hot action while fishing the sparkling green pupa pattern. Quite often clumsy mends and imparting a jigging action activate the caddis pupa, and the trout respond. I am often surprised with how fast I can strip the pupa, and the trout chase it vigorously.
Refurbished Go2 Caddis PupaI counted my caddis pupa patterns, and the go 2 version fell two short of my desired level of inventory. I found three damaged caddis pupa in my fleece wallet, so I stripped two down to the hook and tied new go2 versions. The other damaged fly was missing the dubbed collar, so I simply added a fresh coat of dubbing.
Angled LeftOnce again I anxiously anticipate an encounter with a caddis hatch during 2026, and when I do, I will offer a go2 bright green caddis pupa. The fish will likely savor this fly.
