Members Fly guy Posted October 22, 2014 Members Share Posted October 22, 2014 I was out on the meramec over the weekend and saw quite a few of these flies. I am wondering if this is a caddis, as all the caddis I have come across have been tan or brown in color not bright white like this fly. Sorry about the picture quality. https://www.dropbox.com/s/gp6botrr56znjlh/20141018_175617.jpg?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Doesn't look like a caddis to me, unless that is an emerging pupa. Was that a flying bug or something you got out of the water ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinwrench Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hmmm. Hard to say going by that pic. A drawing of it would probably be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne SW/MO Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 All the caddis I've seen in Missouri look like moths when they are flying and have tan wings and either tan or olive bodies. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Looks like a midge. Caddis have a very distinct shape to them and usually arent that small. "When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Spencer Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think it could be a caddis, little tough to tell by picture though.
