Nymphs & Pupae
The sub-surface patterns we fish rely on to catch large trout. These are some of our best-producing nymphs and pupae patterns for area tailwaters, freestones and spring creeks.
Pattern Selections
Precise profile-specific and technical patterns to match any hatch on Western streams.
Pattern Details
Tungsten Halo Pupa
This is our workhorse caddis pupa pattern we fish alongside our other select sub-surface flies. Like the Bird's Nest, it's one of our favorites to fish under an indicator as a lead fly or as a dropper off of a large hopper or stone.

Tungsten Bird's Nest
Probably our best-producing, all-around attractor nymph we use throughout the year. We like to fish these on double nymph rigs and under large hopper and stonefly patterns as droppers.

Sicario Midge Pupa
A versatile midge pupa pattern we fish religiously in the colder months. It's a fantastic subsurface and emerger for a variety of water types.

Glassy Micro Pupa
The Glassy Micro Pupa is a small subsurface pattern we like to fish throughout the year. It's great as a dropper under a larger dry or dead drifted under an indicator.
