Elk Hair Caddis Sedge

The Elk Hair Caddis Fly pattern was designed by Al Troth in Pennsylvania, USA in the 1950’s, to imitate the adult caddis the wing shape is the key as in it causes the water disturbance to mimic that of a scurrying adult caddis and the trout watch out for this movement when feeding. The versatility of the Elk Hair Caddis is the key to its success. Fish dead-drifted over a rising trout will often draw a strike.
