The little Brown Caddis is also known as the Little Brown Sedge in the West and occasionally, they are referred to as the Little Plain Brown Sedge. The many species of these caddisflies exist in a wide variety of habitat, and are found in streams from coast to coast. But the one common factor is that they are usually around trees, since the larvae eat delaying leaves. Obviously, the bigger populations of these cadisflies will be found near woods for that reason. The pupa imitation fly can be effectively used from a period starting up to two weeks prior to the actual hatch and continuing through the hatch.

They hatch starting as early as June and continue to September depending on the location and the particular species. They are cased daddies like the October Caddis. When they begin pupation, they fasten their cases to rocks, logs or debris near the edges of the stream. The pupae will come to the surface where they will shed their pupal skin and then experience some difficulty escaping from the water.

Presentation:

Most of Little Brown Caddis species will be hatching in moderate to slow moving water so this is where the Little Brown Caddis Pupa fly from Troutprostore should be presented. Use an up and across presentation into the feeding channels of the stream. It may be necessary to add a very small amount of weight about eight inches above the fly.

After the fly lands on the water, mend the line to get the flow down on the bottom as soon as possible. Let it should bounce along the bottom until it reaches the down and across position. After the fly has reached a position directly downstream from where you are standing, stop the tip of the rod to allow the fly to rise up to the surface. The trout usually take the fly on the rise. But after reaching the surface, lit it remain there for a few seconds before making another cast. Continue to work downstream in this manner.
