Color choice matches the dominant caddis species on your water: Olive and Tan cover the most common Brachycentrus and Hydropsyche species found on most Western rivers; Amber and Bright Green are effective attractor colors or match certain Rhyacophila species; October Caddis (Tan\/orange) is purpose-built for the large \u003cem\u003eDicosmoecus\u003c\/em\u003e fall hatches common on Pacific Northwest rivers. Bead Head versions sink faster and work better in deeper or faster current; the unweighted originals ride higher in the water column and are Gary LaFontaine’s preferred version for fishing just under or within the surface film during active emergence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Fly Fishing Place","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47448621154540,"sku":"bhgreenpupa6-12","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/6541\/6684\/files\/Pupa-GB-Bright-Green-Caddis-Emerger-Sparkle-Fly-set-of-6-flies_94558c69-a248-4d98-8359-d0385f76adf7.jpg?v=1774735684","url":"https:\/\/blackrootfieldco.com\/products\/bead-head-lafontaine-bright-green-deep-sparkle-caddis-pupa-6-flies-hook-size-12","provider":"Blackroot Field Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
