An outrigger design has added stability to large canoes and sailboats for ages. This is exactly what a clever California-based fly tyer and fly fisherman named Dave Sloan set out to accomplish the same stability when he needed a new caddis pattern to present to trout in high energy water. Tied with lots of stiff, horizontally protruding fibers, Sloan’s pattern borrows the structural design of outrigger canoes, yielding a caddis imitation that lands upright, floats higher, and remains visible in rough but productive runs.
