Perfect for evening fishing when caddisflies are most active, the Richard Walker Caddis remains a trusted choice for fly fishers seeking success on UK rivers and streams..

Richard Walker Caddis / Sedge Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Richard Walker Caddis, or Sedge, is best used during caddisfly hatches, typically in the evening. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current, mimicking an emerging caddis. Use a dead-drift technique, ensuring minimal drag on the line. For added realism, employ a twitching retrieve by gently lifting the rod tip to simulate a struggling insect. This can trigger aggressive strikes from trout. In still waters, a slow, steady retrieve with occasional pauses can be effective, imitating a caddisfly skittering across the surface.

Key Seasons - when is this

Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly

most effective?

The Richard Walker Caddis, or Sedge, is most effective during late spring to early autumn, aligning with the peak caddisfly hatches. In the UK, this typically spans from May to September. The fly excels during warm evenings when adult caddisflies are most active, especially in low light conditions. It's particularly effective in calm waters or slow-moving streams where trout are likely to rise. During these months, focus on overcast days or just after a rain shower when the humidity encourages caddis activity. Adjust your approach based on local hatch timings for optimal results.

How does the Turrall Richard Walker Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Richard Walker Caddis, or Sedge, fly is designed to mimic 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 imitates the fluttering and drifting motion of the adult caddis, enticing trout to strike. Fish target these insects during their emergence because they are abundant and provide a high-protein meal, crucial for energy. The realistic design of the Richard Walker Caddis makes it an effective choice for anglers seeking to capitalize on this natural feeding frenzy.
