FLY DETAILS
Olive Elk Hair Caddis
A timeless dry fly and a staple in every angler's box, the Elk Hair Caddis is one of the most effective patterns for imitating adult caddisflies - among the most prolific insects in North American waters. Its buoyant elk hair wing keeps it riding high, even in fast-moving currents, making it both highly visible and easy to fish. Consistently productive from spring through sall, especially during evening caddis hatches.
