It combines tungsten bead heads, standard bead heads, and additional Grey Ice Caddis patterns, all organized in an Anglers Image Lanyard Box.

Description

Ken’s Ice Caddis has a long history. The original pattern came together around 2002, when Capt. Ken received his annual shipment of Hareline materials. After seeing several small packets of Ice Dub, he recognized the potential for a productive caddis pattern.

The fly proved itself from the first time it hit the water. In 2004, it was featured in one of Capt. Ken’s fly-tying DVDs, and it has remained a regular part of his guide-fly lineup ever since.

More than two decades later, Ken’s Ice Caddis is still fished daily and continues to produce. This selection brings together the colors and variations that have earned a permanent place in the fly box.

How to Fish It

Fish the Ice Caddis as a nymph or pupa imitation beneath the surface. Use the tungsten versions when you need to get down quickly in deeper water or faster current. Standard bead-head versions offer another option when you want a less heavily weighted presentation.

Fish it as part of a two-fly nymph rig or as a single fly, adjusting depth and weight to match the water you're covering.

Capt. Ken’s Guide Tips

Caddis pupae are an important food source for trout, and fish don't always feed close to the bottom. Pay attention to where trout are holding and adjust your presentation accordingly. Having both tungsten and standard bead-head versions allows you to cover different depths and current speeds without changing patterns.

When choosing a color, start with the conditions and natural caddis activity, then experiment. The combinations in this selection are the colors Capt. Ken has found most productive over years of fishing this pattern.
