Elk Hair Caddis

$2.39

Elk Hair Caddis — a classic dry-fly pattern prized for its buoyancy and realistic silhouette. Built with a sparse, tapered elk hair wing, buoyant hackle, and slim body, it rides high on the surface and suggests a natural adult caddis. It’s a go-to for picky trout on rivers and streams, excelling in gentle riffles and pocket water where visibility and float are key. Fish it dead-drift, with short twitches, or as a searching pattern—reliable for imitating emerging or adult caddis and provoking selective takes.
