Elk Hair Olive Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly

from the Turrall Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly Collection.

The Elk Hair Olive Caddis, a staple in any angler's fly box, is renowned for its effectiveness in mimicking adult caddisflies or sedges. Developed by Al Troth in the 1950s, this fly has become a classic due to its buoyant design and realistic presentation. The key feature is its elk hair wing, which provides excellent floatation and a lifelike silhouette on the water's surface. The olive body colour is particularly effective during caddis hatches, enticing trout with its natural appearance. Perfect for both still and moving waters, this fly is a must-have for targeting trout in diverse fishing conditions..

Elk Hair Olive Caddis / Sedge Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Elk Hair Olive Caddis is best fished during a caddis hatch, typically in the late afternoon or early evening. To maximise effectiveness, use a dead-drift presentation by casting upstream and allowing the fly to float naturally with the current. Mend the line as needed to prevent drag.
For added attraction, try a skittering technique by twitching the rod tip gently to mimic the natural movement of an emerging caddis. This can entice trout to strike. In faster water, employ a short, quick retrieve to simulate a caddis struggling to take flight. Adjust your tactics based on water conditions and trout activity.

Key Seasons - when is this

Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly

most effective?
The Elk Hair Olive Caddis is most effective during late spring to early autumn, aligning with the caddisfly hatch periods. In the UK, prime months are May through September when caddisflies are abundant. This fly excels in warm weather conditions, particularly during the evening when caddisflies are most active.

Look for overcast days with a slight breeze, as these conditions encourage caddisfly activity and make trout more likely to rise. The Elk Hair Olive Caddis is particularly effective in fast-flowing streams and rivers, where its buoyancy and natural appearance can entice even the most cautious trout.

How does the Turrall Elk Hair Olive Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Elk Hair Olive Caddis fly is designed to mimic the adult stage of the caddisfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. As caddisflies emerge from their pupal stage, they become vulnerable on the water's surface, making them an easy target for fish. The fly's olive body and elk hair wing replicate the natural appearance and buoyancy of the adult caddis, enticing trout to strike.
Fish target these insects during their emergence because they are abundant and provide a high-protein meal, crucial for energy. The fly's realistic movement and silhouette on the water make it an effective choice for anglers.
