Tan CDC High Rider Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly

from the Turrall Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly Collection.

The Tan CDC High Rider Caddis, a staple in trout fly fishing, is renowned for its buoyancy and lifelike presentation. Crafted with Cul de Canard (CDC) feathers, this fly mimics the natural caddis or sedge, making it irresistible to trout. Its high-riding design ensures it stays afloat, even in turbulent waters, providing anglers with a reliable option for dry fly fishing.
Originating from the innovative fly-tying techniques of the late 20th century, the CDC High Rider has become a favourite among UK anglers for its effectiveness in diverse fishing conditions. Its subtle tan colour and realistic silhouette make it a must-have in any fly box..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Tan CDC High Rider Caddis is best used in calm or slow-moving waters where trout are feeding on the surface. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current, mimicking a real caddis or sedge. Use a dead-drift technique, ensuring minimal drag on the line, to maintain a natural presentation.
For retrieves, employ short, gentle twitches to imitate the natural movement of an emerging caddis, especially if fish are not responding to a static presentation. This can trigger strikes from curious or opportunistic trout. Adjust your tactics based on water conditions and fish behaviour for optimal results.

Key Seasons - when is this

Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly

most effective?
The Tan CDC High Rider Caddis is most effective during late spring to early autumn, aligning with the peak caddis and sedge hatches. In the UK, this typically spans from May to September. During these months, the fly mimics the natural emergence of caddisflies, making it particularly effective in the evenings when adult caddisflies are most active.

Ideal conditions for using this fly include warm, overcast days with a gentle breeze, which encourages caddis activity on the water surface. It excels in both fast-flowing streams and still waters, where trout are actively feeding on emerging insects. Adjust your presentation to match the natural drift of the caddis for optimal results.

How does the Turrall Tan CDC High Rider Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Tan CDC High Rider Caddis fly mimics the adult stage of the caddisfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. As caddisflies emerge from their pupal stage, they float on the water's surface, drying their wings before taking flight. This fly imitates that vulnerable moment, with its buoyant CDC feathers and realistic silhouette.
Fish target this stage because the insects are abundant and easy prey, struggling to escape the water. The fly's design effectively captures the attention of trout, making it an essential tool for anglers during caddisfly hatches.
