Orvis Sili Skin Caddis

Use this as a dropper on a mature caddis, fish it across and down and when the drift is over, lift the rod, skitter the adult and in doing so, pull this caddis larva up as if it's pupa swimming to the surface. That's two great ways to get a strike in one move. Color, Natural. Caddis fly available in sizes: 12, 14, 16.

Hi there. I’m Crystal from Orvis Customer Service. Since no one has answered your question yet, I did a little research for you, and here’s what I found out:

The recipe for this item is:
-black tunghead bead
-uni-thread 8/0 (olive) thread base
-secure an 1/8" strip of sili skin (pearl)
-mark with a kurecolor marker (appropriate color-insect green)
-twist sili skin (overtwisting will cause it to break)
-wind sili skin forward to behind bead
-mark first 2 or 3 segments behind bead with a kurecolor marker (mid brown)
-coat top half of sili skin with EZ shape sparkle body (pearl)
