| January Fly of the Month Elk Hair Caddis |
| Unlike mayflies, adult caddis are not especially vulnerable to trout when they first hatch. However, they are long-lived (compared to mayflies), and often fall or are blown onto the river. So adult imitations work well any time of year caddis are hatching. The Elk Hair Caddis is THE standard caddis imitation in the West. It has caught countless trout. The fly floats well in rough water, but will works reasonably well in slower water. When casting to rough, water you need the hackle. The rest of the time, it's best to clip the underside hackle very short so the fly will ride lower in the water. Dress with floatant. Dress the fly with floatant and use standard dry fly presentations. The best places are usually near the bank, especially downstream or downwind from overhanging trees or other vegetation. |
