The fly's lightweight construction ensures a delicate presentation, crucial for wary trout in clear waters.

- Fishing Techniques.
The Tape Wing CDC 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, mimicking an emerging caddis. Use a dead drift technique, ensuring minimal drag on the line. For added realism, occasionally twitch the fly gently to simulate a struggling insect. Employ a floating line and a long leader to maintain a stealthy approach. In faster water, a skittering retrieve can be effective, where the fly is pulled across the surface to imitate a fleeing caddis, enticing aggressive strikes from trout.

Key Seasons - when is this

Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly

most effective?
The Tape Wing CDC Caddis 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. During these months, caddisflies are abundant, especially in the evenings when they hatch in large numbers.
Ideal conditions for using this fly include warm, overcast days with a slight breeze, which encourages caddis activity. The fly excels in both fast-flowing streams and still waters, mimicking the natural emergence of caddisflies, making it irresistible to trout during these key periods.

How does the Turrall Tape Wing CDC Caddis / Sedge Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Tape Wing CDC 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 appearance and movement of the adult caddis, with its wing profile and buoyant CDC feathers replicating the insect's fluttering escape attempts. Trout are particularly drawn to this stage due to the abundance and ease of capture, providing a high-energy meal with minimal effort.
