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.
