A legendary caddis pattern that continues to fool selective trout. 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 proven pattern imitates an emerging adult caddis struggling in the surface film as it escapes its nymphal shuck.
Unlike higher-floating caddis patterns, the X-Caddis rides low in the water for a more natural profile that trout find difficult to resist. Its emerger-style silhouette makes it especially deadly on slick water, spring creeks, and technical trout fisheries where fish get a long look at the fly.
Whether you're fishing caddis hatches on freestone rivers, spring creeks, or smooth technical water, the X-Caddis remains a must-have dry 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.
