Goddard Caddis
- Sizes
- #10
- Imitates
- adult caddis · October caddis
John Goddard and Cliff Henry's spun deer hair caddis is the most buoyant caddis imitation ever conceived. The clipped deer hair body traps air and rides high in the fastest water, making it the go-to choice for pocket water and heavy riffles where standard caddis patterns drown.

On the water
Skitter this fly across the surface to imitate egg-laying caddis. It's nearly indestructible and will float through the roughest pocket water.
