Caddis larva are one of the most prevalent insects in rivers, and are particularly loved by trout. In the real world caddis pupa have dark wing pads and antennae that are very noticeable, and have a body and legs that undulate enticingly in the water. Across the spectrum of the caddis family the pupae vary considerably in color; from light tan, to cinnamon brown, chartreuse greens to dark olive, and all the shades in between.

Most modern crayfish patterns focus primarily on a single attribute: Realism. While indeed a valuable component, I find that many realistic flies catch more anglers than fish. The Rio Bandito is a combination of the three important elements that I believe are essential for an effective crayfish imitation: Movement, Profile, and Composition. As far as movement is concerned, this diminutive crayfish pattern has plenty of motion thanks to the use of Australian Possum and rubber legs.
