Iris Caddis
Cheech - May 2024
Aconcept from the desk of legendary Craig Matthews. This Caddis may be the most overlooked dry fly that Craig has created, but that’s a good thing!! It’s wildly effective and you might be the only angler that has it tied on during the hatch. I have tied this in many sizes, variations, and colors. They all really work well due to how it sits in the water column. My favorite way to fish this fly is about 24” behind a size 14 palomino Caddis.
