Product information "CDC Traun Caddis"

The Traun Caddis is a classic caddis fly version: the sedge with closed wings. This picture shows both newly hatched sedges, when they are still unable to fly, and females laying eggs. The adult sedges live for several days or weeks and return to the water from the shore vegetation when all the conditions for laying eggs are met. After mating, the females fly upstream to compensate for the downstream drift of the eggs (compensatory flight).

Some species then climb into the water on the side facing away from the current, e.g. from stones, to lay their egg balls. Many sedges also lay their eggs in the open current at dusk. They run and hop conspicuously over the water surface. In between, the flies repeatedly take breaks, during which they drift downstream with their wings folded. Spawning and egg-laying always provoke a violent ascent.

The tying method and material - the translucent patterned Sedge Wing wings and the CDC thorax surrounded by a few long fibers - give the MW-Caddis a deceptively realistic silhouette without reducing its usability in the slightest. The pattern can be thrown without twisting and has excellent buoyancy.


This means that this CDC sedge can be offered without any problems according to the behavior of the prototypes: Turning and furrowing violently and drifting calmly in between, as “Caddis at rest”. This is most effective with a long leader tip when servicing across and then downstream.

Nev-R-Sink Floatant

Nev-R-Sink - it's just better! Nev-R-Sink has become a floatant legend in its own time. That it could be improved upon wasn't considered possible. Scientists didn't give up hope and carried on the extensive research. The result is Nev-R-Sink II. Your fly floats higher in the surface and even the finest CDC feathers aren't glued together. Contents: 15 ml

Off Bead Mayfly Nymph (yellow)

The Mayfly Nymph with Tungsten Offbead sets new standards for bottom fishing in fly fishing. Thanks to its teardrop-shaped tungsten offbead weight, this nymph sinks especially quickly, reaching the areas where trout and grayling feed most actively. The special offbead technique ensures the nymph drifts "upside down" in the water – with the hook point facing upward. This minimizes the risk of snagging on the riverbed and significantly improves hooking performance.Field experience shows:Compared to a standard nymph with a classic tungsten bead, a mayfly nymph with an offbead tungsten bead sinks twice as fast. This allows you to target deep, fast-flowing runs where conventional patterns often don’t reach the bottom quickly enough. The upside-down position also reduces the chance of the fly snagging on the bottom or on obstacles – a crucial advantage when fishing challenging waters.Practical recommendations:Ideal for bottom fishing for trout and grayling, especially in deeper or faster sections.Particularly effective when fish are sluggish and holding close to the bottom.Perfect for delicate presentations: Thanks to the high weight in a small size, the nymph can be presented precisely even with light rods (#4–#6).For maximum effectiveness, we recommend having various sizes and colors available and presenting the nymph actively with short twitches.The Mayfly Nymph with Tungsten Offbead stands out for its high-quality craftsmanship, durable materials, and natural appearance. It’s an essential pattern for anyone who values efficiency, fish-friendly fishing, and maximum catch rates in fly fishing.Try this innovative nymph and experience more success with fewer snags and faster sinking!

CDC Mayfly Emerger

The Mayfly Emerger is one of the best mayfly patterns ever! This pattern developed by Gerhard Laible reproduces the exact moment when the mayfly nymph breaks through the surface. It is precisely at this moment that the trout often feed on the hatching insect. We recommend fishing this pattern very actively on the surface. The size # 11 is more of a mayfly pattern than a real "Danica" mayfly.
