An excellent imitation of an adult Silverfish is the elkhair caddis. This fly sits high above water's surface and has a palmered head. When the fly line is lightly lifted, the body of the caddis will bounce back. The fly looks large, black-and-gold and is very attractive. The common fly fisherman's favorite species is the elkhair Caddis.
Fly pattern
This fly can be tied by first aligning the elkhair fibres with your hook's eye. Then, cut the fibres to the desired length. Once you have determined the length of the fibres, wrap two to three loosely around the hackles. Secure them to your hook by loose turns. Then wrap the remaining hairs of elk over the head. The hackle's end should meet the eye of your hook.
Wing length
An elk hair caddis wings should be the same length as the hook gape. When you tie the elk's hair wing, make sure to get the bottom hackles as close as possible. Many tiers recommend that the wing be tied with stiffer hair, even though the original fly was made using Hare's Mask dubbing. You will get too much flare from softer hair.
