Pulsating Caddis, Olive

This Olive Pulsating Caddis Fly pattern was developed by Jim Pettis, a guide on the lower Sacramento River, in 1993. The fly can be used in both streams and stillwaters. The term 'pulsating' comes from the combination of the beads and the dubbing material which give off a pulsating effect when moving within the water column. The fly can be used throughout the season from April through October.  This is an extremely effective pattern wherever there are caddisflies.
