Cinnamon Caddis Larva
These net-spinning caddis larvae actually catch their food in the current by creating small nets on rocks. These nets appear similar to parachutes. The Cinnamon Caddis larvae occasionally become very exposed to the trout as they can be attached to their net hanging from it by several inches of silk line. Also, they may be in a shelter built near the end of the net.
Often, anglers have tried to mimic the larvae hanging at the end of the silk line, with mixed results, but we do not necessarily recommend this. However, feel free to try this type of approach and asset it yourself.
Presentation:
Use and up and across presentation in pocket water and riffles, using an appropriate amount of weight a few inches from the fly. Let the fly drift completely around and downstream, being sure it stays near the bottom of the stream.
In smooth water situations, use a longer down and across presentation, mending your line immediately once the fly hits the water. This mending will allow the fly to get down and stay down near the bottom. Then, let the fly to swing directly downstream. Continue this pattern of casting, as you work downstream.
