Product Description
Originally designed as a spent caddis pattern, we took "caddis" off the end of the name, as this sparse pattern has proven absolutely deadly at mimicking nearly every insect category, from caddis to mayflies to small stones to terrestrials. This fly works great as a "stand out" in blizzard hatches. Something magic here...

This is one of my top flies I have ever fished with in 40 years of fly fishing and should be there with the Adams as an all time great!

Missing link
My home water is Henry’s Fork, Idaho. Tough fish, that have seen just about everything. The missing link, as a transitional fly, has been a great choice. 5 ⭐️’s.
