Grande Cased Caddis (Limnephilidae)

Need a new big fly to anchor your Euro-rig that isn't a Vladi Worm or Pat's rubberlegs? Try this guy...cased caddis of the family Limnephilidae are one of the most common large food items available to trout year round...you know who I'm talking about...those big stone or stick cases stuck to every piece of wood or big rock in the river? Most likely in Michigan that's the genus Pycnopsyche, and if you've ever checked the stomach contents of a trout that's where all those little sticks come from...they eat'em whole, case & all...change the body & case color/materials to match the naturals you observe on your favorite stream, and give'em what they want...
