Description
The Goddard Caddis
The Goddard Caddis fly pattern is credited to British fly tyers John Goddard and Clive Henry. They created the fly back in the 1960’s. Originally, anglers in Great Britain named it the G&H Sedge after the initials of the originators’ last names.
Andre Puyans, who had a fly shop in San Jose, CA, later modified it and promoted it as the Goddard Caddis. This is the name that people know it by today.
Anglers eventually used the fly for lakes and still water fishing. The fly eventually found its way into the United States about ten years later.
It features a spun deer hair body, a couple of antennae and brown hackle making it a perfect caddis imitation. It is a fly that deserves to be in every angler’s caddis fly box.
Anglers know that the Goddard Caddis fly attracts various species of trout, such as brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout. Additionally, it can entice other freshwater fish that feed on caddisflies. These include species such as grayling and sometimes panfish like bluegill or crappie.
Its lifelike appearance and ability to imitate caddisflies in their various life stages make it a versatile and effective fly for trout and similar species.
Usually available in the following hook sizes: 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20
