Microtricóptero de Becada

Asturian micro-caddis dry

TroutSurface

A tiny Asturian micro-caddis tied with woodcock body feather — 'becada' is the Spanish word for woodcock. The mottled woodcock fibre creates a micro-pattern that matches the small caddis adults common on Asturian limestone tributaries.

Fish this when

Spring through autumn on Asturian limestone rivers when micro-caddis are hatching — typically in afternoons during calm weather. For fish rising persistently to tiny insects.

Why it works

The mottled woodcock fibre is a near-perfect match for the wing pattern of small caddisflies. At hook sizes 18–22 it requires fine tippet and a precise cast, but when the hatch is on, nothing else works as well.
