CDC Elk Caddis Olive | 3 Pack

A subtle, natural caddis dry for smooth water and selective trout. The CDC Elk Caddis in Olive rides low in the film—CDC fibers shimmer and breathe while the elk-hair wing adds just enough buoyancy and visibility for delicate, confidence-inspiring drifts. When it excels: Late spring through early fall; evening caddis activity; slick glides, gentle seams, and pressured fish Why it works: CDC traps micro-bubbles and moves naturally; the olive body matches common adult caddis while the elk wing keeps the fly trackable without bulk Pack size: 3 flies Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook) Ready to fish: Sparse, clean tie with CDC for lifelike animation; consistent proportions for drag-free presentations How to fish it Use a 9–12 ft leader with 5X–6X and dead-drift along soft seams and foam lines; add tiny micro-twitches if fish inspect but refuse. For a dry-dropper in calmer water, tie 16–20" of light tippet to the bend and trail a small pupa or midge. Care Avoid gel/si
