Phil Rowley came up with this "synthetic" version of a traveling sedge pattern for lakes. It is another option instead of a Mikulak Sedge! The synthetic version is easier to tie and its profile is an excellent imitation of the natural! If there are large traveling caddis on your local water, this is an excellent pattern to tie on! I am going to be sure to have some for late June and July on several mountain lakes I enjoy visiting! Fly fishers in British Columbia will certainly have a few of these in their fly box! There are definitely lakes in Alberta where there are large caddis that scoot across the water!
