A proven caddis pattern that belongs in every dry fly box. The Barbless X-Caddis is one of the most effective dry flies in the West—and anywhere caddisflies are present. 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.
Unlike higher-floating caddis patterns, the X-Caddis rides low in the water, creating a more natural presentation that excels on slick water, spring creeks, and pressured trout.
Especially effective during caddis hatches on freestone rivers, slick water, and technical spring creeks, the X-Caddis is a confidence fly that consistently fools selective 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.
