Flies

The Goddard's Sedge Fly, also known as the Goddard Caddis, is a classic dry fly pattern designed to imitate adult caddisflies (sedge flies) skimming across the water surface. This fly is notable for its buoyant and durable construction, featuring a densely packed deer hair body that is trimmed to shape, mimicking the natural silhouette of a caddisfly. The fly often includes a hackle or wing made of feather fibers to enhance its lifelike appearance and help it ride high on the water. It's particularly effective for trout fishing during caddisfly hatches or when fish are feeding on terrestrial insects.

The Royal Wulff is a classic dry fly pattern, renowned for its versatility and effectiveness in attracting a wide range of fish species, particularly trout. This fly is an adaptation of the Royal Coachman, featuring a distinctive design with a red silk or floss body section, flanked by peacock herl, and divided by a band of peacock herl. The fly also includes white calf tail wings, making it highly visible on the water, and a brown hackle collar for added buoyancy. The Royal Wulff is a go-to fly for fast-moving waters and is effective in various conditions, often used when searching for fish or when no specific hatch is occurring.

The Elk Hair Caddis is a popular dry fly pattern designed to imitate adult caddisflies, particularly in their natural brown coloration. This fly is known for its buoyancy and durability, making it an excellent choice for fast-moving waters. The body is typically crafted from brown dubbing or fine yarn, and the fly features a palmered hackle that enhances its lifelike movement on the water's surface. The distinctive wing is made from elk hair, which provides the fly with excellent floatation and a realistic silhouette. The Brown Elk Hair Caddis is a versatile fly, effective in various fishing conditions, especially during caddisfly hatches.
