The Cinnamon Sedge Dry Fly is a dedicated caddis imitation designed to replicate adult sedges with warm brown or cinnamon toned bodies. These insects are commonly seen during late spring and summer evenings, when trout move confidently into the surface film to intercept egg laying or newly emerged adults. Tied with a slim dubbed body and swept-back or tent-style wing, this pattern mirrors the natural posture of a resting sedge. The cinnamon colouring provides a realistic tone that blends naturally with many caddis species found on rivers and stillwaters. Its lightly hackled construction ensures stable flotation while maintaining a low, natural footprint on the surface. Particularly effective during evening rises and low-light conditions, the Cinnamon Sedge can also serve as a general caddis imitation when trout are feeding on adult sedges but are not fixated on a specific shade. Please note all of our fishing flies are barbless unless otherwise stated.
