Noahguide 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2020 Bottom is a Caddis Pattern, similar to this https://ascentflyfishing.com/tent-wing-caddis/ or this: https://www.johnkreft.com/caddis-fly-patterns/hemingway-caddis/ Top is just a buggy looking nymph. Good luck with them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Found them in a box I got with a rod and am going out to hit the hatch today.  Top is a Hexagenia Limbata nymph which is a burrowing nymph found in sediments along trout stream simlar to the fly below the natural. Bottom is a Joe's Hopper, see this link: https://midcurrent.com/flies/classic-michigan-flies-joes-hopper/  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
