Zebra Caddis

Anybody out there know of a pattern for the zebra caddis?

I'll be fishing the Housatonic in mid-June and been told that this is something to watch out for.

I did check the FAOL archives but couldn't come up with anything.

Thanks,

Steven

Steven... I can't be positive, but I'd be willing to bet the Zebra Caddis is the Alder Fly. I heard the two names together allot when I lived in NH and fished the Androsgoggin River.

maddog48,

You are quite correct, the Zebra Caddis has been called the Alder fly on the Housatonic for so many years people just accept it.

It can be a very nice hatch for weeks, great fishing.

The names somehow get screwed up in certain areas up there. I was specifically told, "not the alderfly" but a real caddis.

FK,

Are there any patterns/recipes regularly used that you could share?

Thanks,

Steven
