Light Cahill Dry Fly

No comments yet

This YouTube fly tying tutorial features one of my favorite flies of all time, the Light Cahill. Created by Daniel Cahill over a hundred years ago, this fly is a classic pattern that continues to catch fish today, especially in situations that require a heavily-hackled fly in faster currents. The Light Cahill was one that I turned to on a regular basis when I first became addicted to this sport over 25 years ago, and a pattern that I still call a "go to" on a regular basis.

Featured in this fly tying tutorial are the D101BL hooks from Allen Fly Fishing; you can find these hooks and many others at the following link: http://www.allenflyfishing.com/d101bl-standard-dry-fly-barbless/

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.
