Caddis Pupa Kebari

Designed to imitate one of the most common and important aquatic insects, the Caddis Pupa Kebari blends traditional Japanese fly design with the effectiveness of a classic Western hatch-matcher. Tied in the Sakasa style—with soft hackle swept forward toward the hook eye—this fly offers lifelike motion that mimics the rising, struggling behavior of a caddis pupa as it ascends through the water column.

The forward-facing hackle responds to subtle pulses and drifts, giving the fly a delicate, breathing action that entices selective trout. This is a key difference from the Futsu style, which uses stiff, upright hackle meant to hold the fly in place and create a more static presence in turbulent flows. The Sakasa design of the Caddis Pupa Kebari thrives on movement and finesse.
