Holy Grail Caddis – Fly Tying Video Instructions

A new pattern from our friends at In The Riffle.

It can be stripped behind a streamer, swing at the end of a drift, or just plain dead drifted. Tye it in one of 3 main colors: Natural, Olive, or Black. This is a must have pattern to keep in your fly box.
