Hemingway's Tube Body Caddis
One body. Countless possibilities at the vise.
Hemingway's Tube Body Caddis are versatile, ready-made fly tying bodies designed for realistic caddis patterns, while also working exceptionally well for smaller stoneflies, hoppers, and other extended-body terrestrial flies. Their natural tapered profile and soft dubbing texture create a convincing silhouette without the time and effort of building extended bodies from scratch.
Made from premium dubbing fibers, each body is hollow and traps tiny air pockets, making it exceptionally lightweight and naturally buoyant. The result is a fly that lands softly, rides well on the surface, and maintains a natural profile throughout the drift.
Ready to use straight from the package, these tube bodies make tying quicker and more consistent, whether you're filling a fly box before a trip or experimenting with new patterns at the bench.
For an even more realistic finish, pair them with Hemingway Realistic Caddis Wings to create lifelike caddis adults, or combine them with Realistic Stonefly Wings for highly effective stonefly patterns.
Each pack contains 10 Tube Body Caddis.
Available in eight proven colors: Light Yellow, Light Orange, Yellow, Orange, Green, Olive, Gray, or Brown Olive.
