Today we're diving into LaFontaine's Sparkle Pupa, a nymph pattern designed by Gary LaFontaine in the 1970s that expertly mimics a caddis pupa during its critical emergence stage. This fly features unique materials like Hareline Hare Tron Dubbing and Antron Yarn to replicate the gas bubble effect caddisflies exhibit before surfacing. Ideal for sizes 12 to 16, this pattern is a must-have for anglers targeting selective trout.
