Field Notes

A buoyant dry fly pattern that imitates a sedge/caddis on the surface. Fish it on a dead drift or with subtle twitches during hatch activity, especially on rivers and streams where trout are feeding on adults.

Pros

  • Highly imitative caddis/sedge profile
  • Very buoyant deer-hair and poly-yarn wing
  • Barbless for easier release

Cons

  • Can be delicate in heavy wind
  • Best when fish are looking up
