Description
If you enjoy tying flies that truly stand out, the ABC Hydropsyche Kit will make you very happy. This is a material that feels almost magical to work with — flexible, supple, and incredibly lifelike. It’s hard not to be impressed by the amount of movement and realism it creates once in the water.
The cleverly designed, laser-cut suede material delivers a level of detail that perfectly captures the look of a real caddis larva. When the body gets wet, it comes alive, moving so naturally that it can be difficult to tell imitation from reality.
The fish seem to agree — they attack these patterns aggressively.
The kit includes all the sizes you need in one package, making it incredibly convenient whether you’re tying small nymphs or larger larval imitations. The porous material absorbs color effortlessly, so all you need are a few permanent markers and a bit of creativity — and you’re ready to go.
