A legendary caddis pattern trusted by trout anglers everywhere. The Barbless X-Caddis is one of the most effective dry flies in the West—and anywhere caddisflies are abundant. Originally designed by Craig Matthews of Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone, this pattern imitates an emerging adult caddis struggling in the surface film as it escapes its nymphal shuck.
The X-Caddis rides lower in the water than traditional high-floating caddis patterns, creating a more natural silhouette that selective trout find difficult to refuse. Its realistic emerger profile makes it especially effective on slick water, spring creeks, and heavily pressured fisheries.
Whether you're fishing caddis hatches on freestone rivers, spring creeks, or technical dry fly water, the X-Caddis remains a proven confidence fly that consistently produces trout.
Bring more confidence to every cast with premium, hand-tied flies built to perform wherever the water takes you. From quiet backwaters to fast-moving streams and coastal flats, these patterns are crafted with precision and made to last. Each fly is tied by skilled hands using high-quality materials and time-tested designs. With curated assortments and fair pricing, stocking your fly box is effortless. Made for anglers who take their time on the water seriously—and want gear that does the same.
