Light Cahill
Related content
In the series of flies under the "Catskill-style" there are several many classic dry fly patterns, which are imitations of mayflies. One of the most iconic patterns is the Light Cahill which appears to have been developed in the 1880’s. The Light Cahill is identified by W. Patrick McCafferty in his aquatic entomology book as being a flat headed mayfly (Family Heptageniidae), called such because of its appearance while in its nymph form. In this video we have had the skilled Swedish flytyer and flyfisherman Håkan Karsnäser behind the vise to show this beautiful and simple dry fly.

Since you got this far …
The GFF money box
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
