Hemingway's Realistic Caddis Wings
These innovative parts are very realistic imitations of real caddis fly wings and are extra easy to work with. They are preshaped and precut, all ready to use! Simply take them off the backing sheet and tie them on. No cutting or shaping is required. The transparency and the details on these wings mimic the real wing of a caddis fly remarkably well. These wings are premium quality, made to withstand the elements - they are waterproof and UV resistant, so no additional prep work is needed. They are extra durable and can survive many fish, but are also made of a very flexible material, so they are easy to bend and manipulate when tying. The softness and flexibility of the material make it easily gulped by the fish. These wings are best complemented with Hemingway's Caddis Tube Bodies - you get a perfect, realistic-looking fly in a few easy steps.
Flies made with these wings are meant to be used and used again. Many realistic flies are sitting at home and collecting dust. Now, it is time to get those realistic flies where they belong on the water! Use them, lose them, no big deal, as they are affordable and easy to make.
With Hemingway's Realistic Caddis Wings, you can make those wonderful, realistic flies that fish just love to bite! They come in five colors: Black, Brown, Cinnamon, Tan & Gray, and the following sizes:
- Mixed (20 pieces, 10-16 hook size)
- Small (27 pieces, 16 hook size)
- Medium (21 pieces, 14 hook size)
- Large (18 pieces, 10-12 hook size)
- Extra Large (15 pieces, 8-10 hook size)
Please note that due to many different types and models of hooks, these hook size recommendations are just rough estimates. Besides Caddis wings, we also offer Hemingway's Realistic Wings for Mayfly and Stonefly, also in a variety of colors and sizes. See them all here.
