湯姆·羅森鮑爾的線蟲卡迪斯幼蟲

The little ribbed wire body is what sold me — it’s got just enough flash to catch their eye without being loud. Fished it on a slow drift through some pocket water and got three solid takes when the surface was dead calm. I’ve already tied on a second one next to the first, it’s that convincing.

The wire body on this caddis larva gives it just enough flash to get noticed on cloudy days. I've had trout hit it even when there was no surface activity at all, which is exactly what the description promised. It's become a go-to pattern for me when the fishing gets tough.
