The Elk Hair Caddis is a must-have dry fly that imitates adult caddisflies skating and drifting across the surface. It’s one of the most dependable patterns for covering water when fish are actively feeding on top, especially in broken currents and riffles.

  • High-Floating Design – Palmered hackle and elk hair wing keep it riding on top in fast, choppy water
  • Excellent Visibility – Natural elk hair wing makes it easy to track in glare and rough surface conditions
  • Versatile Presentation – Fish it dead-drift or skate it to imitate egg-laying caddis
  • Proven Producer – Effective during caddis hatches and as a general attractor pattern
  • Riffle & Pocket Water Killer – Excels where trout are keyed in on surface activity

A staple on rivers like the Deschutes River, the Elk Hair Caddis belongs in every box from spring through fall when caddis are present.

Imitates

Caddis, Caddis, and more Caddis.

Species

Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Etc.
