The Chuck Caddis Olive is a buoyant and highly effective dry fly designed to imitate adult caddisflies, which are a staple in the diet of many freshwater species such as trout. This fly features a bushy and durable design, with a dubbed body, in natural Olive, and an overwing made from deer hair or similar buoyant material. The hackle is wrapped densely around the body, providing excellent floatation and a natural caddisfly profile.

The Chuck Caddis is particularly effective in fast-moving rivers and streams, where its buoyancy allows it to stay on the surface even in turbulent water, making it an ideal fly for both upstream and downstream presentations. It’s a go-to pattern during caddisfly hatches or when fish are actively feeding on the surface.
