Early caddis emergence matcher
TroutSurface
The grannom or green sedge hatches in spring, and this dresing in tan body and buff wings hits the window when the hatch is on. Fish it dry in the film or wet on the swing — it works both ways.
Fish this when
Fish it during early season on river. Use it when the naturals are about and fish are feeding seriously. Have it ready for selective moments.
Why it works
It works because the profile reads as grannom caddis; small dark sedge. Straightforward pattern, proven result. Fish it with confidence when other flies don't move them.
