Dry fly
Cahill Comparadun
Flush-riding cream dun
Trout · GraylingSurface
Cream-tan Comparadun for the Light Cahill of warm summer evenings.
Fish this when
On warm summer evenings during a Light Cahill hatch on slower, flatter water, dead-drifted to fish rising steadily rather than sporadically.
Why it works
The hackle-free deer-hair fan sits the fly flush in the film exactly as a natural dun does, avoiding the footprint a conventionally hackled fly leaves on calm water.
