Juan's Kryptonite Caddis
Juan's Kryptonite Caddis is a very cool and super realistic caddis nymph/pupa. The Juan's Kryptonite Caddis can be tied in several colors, but the bright green is by far my favorite! To fill your fly box, the Juan's Kryptonite Caddis is best tied “assembly” style. It is best to tie up several bodies at a time on a single piece of amnesia line. Then tie the flies once you have many bodies made. A very simple and relatively easy fly tie, given how realistic it looks!
