Elk Hair Caddis Olive - Dry Fly

The Elk Hair Caddis Olive is based on the Elk Hair Caddis Tan created by Al Troth.

Elk Hair Caddis Olive

The Elk Hair Caddis Olive developed by Al Trout was originally used in the American Northwest with a great deal of success and is now used world-wide. This is a superb imitation of an adult caddis fly which rather than imitate a particular species of caddis uses a roof wing profile to mimic a whole range of medium to small brown caddis flies. The wing is made of Elk hair which is tough but retains good buoyancy.


Use The Elk Hair Caddis Olive To Catch:


The Elk Hair Caddis Olive can be used to catch Cutthroat

The Elk Hair Caddis Olive can be used to catch Rainbow Trout

The Elk Hair Caddis Olive can be used to catch Brown Trout

The Elk Hair Caddis Olive can be used to catch Grayling



As the name indicates dry flies which include Elk Hair Caddis Olive are designed to float on the surface of the water. Trout dry flies types which include Elk Hair Caddis Olive imitate a wide variery of flies and insects which inhabit the surface of the water. There is nothing like using dry flies and watching trout and grayling rise to the surface. To purists dry fly fishing is the true art-form of fly fishing, indeed some rivers only permit dry fly fishing. There are some dry flies (e.g. the Popper, Muddlers) which are designed to attract fish by the action of creating a surface disturbance. The flies are made from very bouyant materials (e.g, cork, ethafoam or deer hair, the latter having a generous application of floatant). A Muddler retrieved upwind of a rise can often result in a bulge in the water as the fish follows the fly.

Dry Fly Fishing Techniques With The Elk Hair Caddis Olive

A dry fly like Elk Hair Caddis Olive has flotant (Gink is the most popular) warmed in your hand and gently rubbed into the hackles to help Elk Hair Caddis Olive float and they are usually cast singly on a trout tapered leader. A floating line is used, but with the tapered leader de-greased so that it does not glint and flash light spooking the trout
