The Elk Hair Caddis is a versatile dry fly pattern that should be an essential part of any angler’s fly box. This highly effective searching pattern imitates the general silhouette and riding floatant abilities of adult caddisflies and small stoneflies. The elk hair wings provide a bushy, highly visible profile on the water that trout can spot from a distance. The hair also retains air bubbles which help keep the fly riding high, even in rippled water or mild chop.
