Elk Hair Caddis

The Elk Hair Caddis is one of the most trusted and productive dry flies ever created. Developed by legendary fly tier Al Troth in 1958, its buoyant elk hair wing, palmered hackle, and lifelike silhouette perfectly imitate adult caddis flies while making it highly visible and exceptionally durable on fast moving water. More than six decades later, it remains a staple in fly boxes around the world and a go to searching pattern whenever trout are feeding on the surface.

Every Fly from HatchLab FlyWorks is tied using carefully selected premium materials and individually inspected for Consistency, Durability, and Performance on the water.

Lab Crafted. River Tested.
