Dee Finkel – Screaming Banshee – Grey

The Screaming Banshee represents Charlie Craven’s innovative approach to caddis imitation, featuring an unusual forward wing design that enables effortless skittering across the water surface. Built almost entirely from hair materials, this pattern maintains exceptional buoyancy while sitting low in the water with its rear breaking the surface film. The fly’s unique construction actually improves with use, as the elk shellback begins to pop and freed hairs create increased movement and buginess that attracts fish during heavy hatches.
