The Missing Link Caddis has a complicated family tree. The love child of a caddis and a mayfly, this crossover pattern fishes just as effectively as an emerging or adult caddis fly as it does as a drifting mayfly or spawned out spinner. When you want to cover and fish more hatches with fewer flies, this pattern is a deadly weapon to have in your fly arsenal!

very effective on still water
A great dry fly that doesn't make a big splash. Cutthroat in alpine lakes went for this one when I used a long tippet for gentle landing.
