Looking for an easy-to-tie dry fly pattern that consistently produces fish? The X Caddis, originally designed by Craig Mathews, is one of the most effective and versatile dry flies you can have in your fly box. In this video, we walk you through a step-by-step tutorial on how to tie the X Caddis fly, perfect for beginner fly tyers or anyone looking to add a reliable dry fly to their lineup. This fly imitates an emerging caddis and is incredibly productive on rivers and streams across the country

❌ X-Caddis ✅ Deceptively simple and endlessly effective, the X-Caddis bridges the gap between emerger and adult with ease. Its trailing shuck suggests vulnerability, while the buoyant, clean profile rides the surface with comfort and confidence. When fish are keyed in on caddis struggling to break free, this pattern stands out without shouting. Elegant, subtle, and proven in countless hatches — sometimes the “X” marks more than the spot… it marks the take. 🎣✨ #54deanstreet #DailyFly #browntrout
