We'll be honest: we have no idea where the name Breadcrust originated. Regardless, it is one heck of a caddis pattern! An excellent imitation of both the cased caddis life stage and the freshly emerged caddis pupa, this fly pattern will cover a number of species and hatches across the country!

Great in streams or lakes
Terrific all around fly in advanced water like Deckers or easier lakes like Evergreen.

great as a dry fly
I added floatant to use this as an effective dry fly for wary trout in alpine lakes.
