Tie 20 proven Half-Baked Caddis without hunting down materials.
This kit gives you everything you need for the fly itself, paired with our step‑by‑step tying tutorial, so you can go from “I've always wanted to try tying...” to fishing your own flies with confidence.
What This Kit Is
The Half-Baked Caddis is a sparse caddis emerger you can fish three ways—as a nymph, in the film, or on top—making it the fly to reach for when fish are eating pupae instead of adults.
This kit includes everything you need to tie 20 Half-Baked Caddis in the exact recipe we fish ourselves, so you don't have to guess on dubbing, deer hair, or proportions.
Pair it with our full tying tutorial and you've got a complete, beginner-friendly path from bare hook to fish-ready fly.

Extra Tip
Keep it sparse—this fly works because it isn't bulky.
Resist the urge to over-dub the body or stack too much deer hair. A slim profile and a light wing are what let it sit down in the film where an emerging pupa actually is.
