Hogan Brown has caught plenty of fish on Mike Mercer's legendary Z-Wing Caddis, but over the years he's made a few simple tweaks to create a variation that's become a staple in his own fly box.

In this video, Hogan walks through his take on the classic pattern, featuring a crystal rib, turkey tail case, Mercer Buggy Flash dubbing, and sparse floral fiber legs that bring this proven caddis imitation to life. Whether you're matching emerging caddis, imitating rockworms, or simply looking for a reliable searching pattern, this fly deserves a spot in your lineup.

Simple to tie and effective just about anywhere trout eat caddis, this is one you'll come back to again and again.
