Overview

The Umpqua Elk Hair Caddis in Spruce is a variation of the classic dry fly pattern that has earned its place in every angler's fly box. Originally designed by Al Troth in 1957, this fly imitates adult caddisflies and small stoneflies, making it an effective choice for trout and grayling.

Constructed with a dubbed spruce-colored body, palmered hackle, and a wing of light elk hair, this fly offers excellent buoyancy and visibility. The elk hair wing not only aids in flotation but also provides a realistic silhouette that entices fish to strike. Its versatility allows it to be fished effectively in various water conditions, from fast-moving streams to calm lakes.Read More +
