Comment - Designed by me and named after an old friend of mine by the name of Caplis who first introduced me to the sport of fly fishing in 1985.
It's designed as an attractor pattern with multiple uses. It can be used for trout or panfish. It can be fished on lakes, rivers, or streams in both fast or still waters. It's highly visible and a great floater.
