Cinnamon Caddis (Ceratopsyche sp)
Adults:
The adult Cinnamon Caddis become important when the females are depositing
their eggs. They do this on the surface or by diving to the bottom depending on
the particular species. Those that dive do return to the surface and float for a few
seconds. As I previously said, this activity can occur at the same time they are
emerging. It usually starts near the end of the emergence and last for an hour or
two.
On overcast or rainy days, egg laying can start much sooner. By the way, if you
find the caddis emerging and depositing their eggs at the same time, fish an
imitation of the pupae. It is almost always more effective than imitating the egg
layers.
Adult Presentation:
Even in the low light, you should be able to see the caddisflies dipping to the
water when they are depositing their eggs. Of course, that is the area where you
want to place your fly. You can try to imitate the skittering manner in which the
caddis flutter around on the surface but we find it best just to use a dead drift. I
scare more than I fool adding action to the fly.
