Tying Cat's Caddis Larva...The Green Cheeseburger

We will eventually have a video of Cat tying this fly, but until then....

This is another beautifully simple pattern from guide Cat Toy. As the adage goes, simplicity is often the sign of brilliance. This fly couldn’t be a more perfect example of this. This fly accounts for more eats on her guide trips than any other fly. In fact, it has become known as “the Cheeseburger Caddis” because of how well it entices fish. It produces fish on tailwaters as well as freestones, in spring and summer as well as during fall and winter.
