G & H Olive Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly

from the Turrall G & H Sedge Trout Fly Collection.

The G & H Olive Caddis, also known as the Sedge Trout Fly, is a classic pattern designed by John Goddard and Cliff Henry in the 1960s. This fly is renowned for its effectiveness in imitating adult caddisflies, a staple in trout diets. Its buoyant deer hair body and hackle create a lifelike silhouette and movement on the water's surface, making it irresistible to trout.
Key features include its olive body, which mimics natural caddis, and its versatile design, suitable for both still and moving waters. The G & H Olive Caddis remains a favourite among anglers for its proven track record in attracting trout..

G & H Olive Caddis / Sedge Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The G & H Olive Caddis/Sedge is best used during caddisfly hatches, particularly in the evening. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current. Use a dead-drift technique, ensuring the fly floats naturally without drag. Occasionally, impart slight twitches to mimic the natural movement of a caddisfly struggling on the water's surface. For retrieves, employ a slow, steady hand-twist retrieve to simulate a swimming caddis. Target areas with overhanging vegetation or riffles where caddisflies are likely to emerge.

Key Seasons - when is this

G & H Sedge Trout Fly

most effective?
The G & H Olive Caddis/Sedge is most effective during late spring to early autumn, aligning with the peak caddisfly hatches. In the UK, prime months are May through September when caddisflies are abundant.
Use this fly during warm, overcast days or in the evening when caddisflies are most active. It excels in fast-flowing streams and rivers, especially during the late afternoon hatch. Ensure to match the fly size to the natural insects present for optimal results.

How does the Turrall G & H Olive Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The G & H Olive Caddis/Sedge fly imitates the adult stage of the caddisfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. As caddisflies emerge from their pupal stage, they become vulnerable on the water's surface, making them an easy target for fish. This fly mimics the natural movement and appearance of the adult caddis, with its olive body and bushy hackle resembling the insect's wings and legs. Fish are particularly drawn to this stage because the emerging caddisflies are abundant and provide a high-protein meal, making them irresistible to trout seeking to maximise their energy intake.
