The dry fly season is coming to an end. But it’s certainly not over, and the fishing can still be quite good. There are still insects on the surface - some that come from below and even some that come from above. An important food item for trout and grayling during the fall is sedges - or caddis. One of the most iconic and classic imitations of caddis must be the Europea 12 - a simple, beautiful dry imitation. Originally it’s a French pattern, attributed to André Ragot – according to the Danish author Preben Torp Jacobsen back in the 1960s. In this video we have our very own Håkan Karsnäser behind the vice demonstrating this beautiful caddis-imitation.
