Trapped Raffine-Caddis

Another raffine-led caddis pattern. This time the hackle is clipped underneath so the wing and thorax sit in the surface film with the abdomen piercing through. A little floatant through the hckle and smeared lightly on the wing will keep it bouyant. With these patterns, if they do sink, let them fish wet - for the fish will happily take a drowned, spent or diving caddis
