Caddis, Elk Hair Tan

The Tan Elk Hair Caddis is the original and most widely used version, imitating tan-bodied adult caddisflies—among the most abundant caddis in North America.

Created by Al Troth in 1957, the tan Elk Hair Caddis revolutionized dry fly design with its simplicity, floatation, and versatility. It remains one of the most used dry flies ever tied and works equally well in fast or still water.
