Parachute dry
Sedge
Generic caddisfly family
Trout · Sea troutSurface
Adult sedge and caddis patterns for the surface and film, especially when the hatch is on and fish are in attacker mode.
Fish this when
Late spring through autumn when sedges are emerging or ovipositing. Fish dries static or dibbled; wet patterns swung or drifted.
Why it works
Sedge activity is predictable and fish respond with conviction. Both dry and wet imitations work — choose based on water conditions and fish behaviour.
