40 Fly Selection: Ice Caddis, Ice Caddis Pupa, Caddis Pupa & Caddis Nymph by Capt. Ken's

Overview

The Original Ice Caddis line has earned its place with river anglers since the early 2000s. This 40 fly selection bundles essential patterns to cover a range of caddis hatches and near surface takes. Crafted by Baxter House Outfitters in Roscoe, NY and Capt. Ken's Custom Flies, each pattern balances robust build with realistic detail, designed to help you present convincing imitations in varying light and water conditions.

What makes this set stand out is its curated range. It combines the best performing Ice Dub colors and classic caddis patterns that have stood the test of time on the water. The selection is designed to be adaptable, so you can move from calm back eddies to boulder-strewn runs without changing gears.

What’s included

• 18 tungsten bead heads in 3 colors and 3 sizes
• 18 standard caddis bead in 3 colors and 3 sizes
• 4 additional Ice Caddis in Grey
• All flies secured in an Anglers Image Lanyard Box

Colors and materials

• Colors cover Caddis Green, Peacock, Light Olive, Olive Brown, Cream, and Brown
• Grey Ice Caddis provides a subtle option for overcast or low-light days
• Dubbing and body materials reflect natural tones and lifelike profiles

Real-world use often comes down to how patterns behave in the water. The tungsten bead heads provide quick sink rates for subsurface presentation, while the standard caddis patterns offer buoyancy and movement near the surface. The mix of colors and sizes supports a range of hatch simulations, letting you tailor your approach to match water conditions and insect activity.
