Elk Hair Caddis

A previously munched Al Troth's Elk Hair Caddis
























I don't think I'll be happy until I have an entire boat box filled with Elk Hair Caddis in every size and color combination.  I'm getting there, slowly.  One of my favorite sizes and color combinations is the cream hackle/ light hair in a size 16-14.  It covers 3 bases and is durable - it's why it's a classic.

First, it obviously works for the small light colored natural caddis.  Second, it's super visible and works for any colored caddis on those 11pm sunset, caddis insanities we're about to experience.  Third, it is the perfect pattern for the spruce moths which come along later in the summer.
