Waffle Pupa Orange #12–14
The
Waffle Pupa Orange is a super-effective foam caddis pupa, designed by our tying workshops contact tyer
Niklas Dahlin, inspired by Swedish fly tyer John Robert Wilson.
A waffled foam rear body (pressed with hackle pliers) gives the fly a segmented, lifelike look that both anglers and trout love.
The pattern sits more in than on the surface film and stays there, even in rough water. The thorax is a buggy blend of
Hare’s Ear and Partridge fibres, creating a very natural silhouette of an emerging caddis.
A deadly choice on
warm summer evenings when caddis are hatching and trout are cruising just under the surface.
How to fish it
-
Fish it upstream on a long, light leader
-
Let it drift naturally in the surface film
