Hard Hat Caddis

The Hard Hat Caddis is a simple little CDC Caddis with a small twist. CDC has a great profile and buoyancy, great for slower water where fish really have time to inspect your bug. The Hard Hat Caddis can be tied in any Caddis color variations, such as Olive, Tan or Black. The “Hard Hat” color can also be swapped out for any color of your choosing, even a hot spot to help see it in the current!
