Meet the King River Caddis: a western tent-wing caddis that looks like the real thing and behaves like a cunning little insect with commitment issues. Perfect for anglers who prefer clever imitation over brute force—because sometimes finesse wins the day (and your dinner).

Who it’s for: Dry-fly purists, trout whisperers, and anyone chasing picky rises on trickier water. This is for anglers who want their fly to read the room—and get a grab. AXG Life: Life, Adventure-Ready, and ready to make your next drift worth a story.

Key Features & Design

• Pattern: Western tent-wing caddis—designed to sit naturally and imitate a live caddis on the surface.
• Appearance: Natural-looking profile and movement to attract attention without shouting for it.
• Proven: A classic that’s been relied on for years; repeatedly effective across different waters.
• Sizes: Available in #10 through #18 to match hatch size and mood.

Performance & Benefits

This fly isn’t flashy because it doesn’t need to be. The tent-wing construction helps it ride the film perfectly, making it irresistible to selective trout. It gives you:

• Superior surface presentation—less splash, more temptation.
• Versatility across runs, riffles, and calmer pockets—because fish don’t read maps.
• Size range (#10–#18) that covers big, confident rises and tiny picky takes alike.
• Reliability that turns stuck weekends into hero stories—quietly and efficiently.

Pair it with your usual tippet and a thoughtful drift; this pattern handles midnight epiphanies and questionable trout behavior with equal calm.
