Trichoptera or Caddisflies are a diverse group with hundreds of different species. These consist of  large predatory species, a variety of cased species  to smaller cased algae feeders. Most species have a life cycle of approximately one year and are therefore relatively abundant year round depending on local conditions prevailing at the time. The trout will therefore take avantage of this abundance and for most of the year caddis will appear in the diet. It makes sense to have a few caddis imatations in the fly box.

 Shaun Wyatt will demo one of these imatations.

This fly is successful in local streams like the Nogongotaha, Waititi and also local stream mouths in the summer time.

At the clubrooms 7 pm.
