Sedge tied with CDC (cul de canard) and duck feather, combining lightness, natural flotation and great mobility. The CDC ensures excellent surface stability while the duck feather adds volume and realism, ideal for imitating an adult caddisfly drifting or at the end of a hatch.
The Caddisflies & Sedges category offers a comprehensive selection of patterns designed to faithfully reproduce the biological cycle of the caddisfly, a key insect in the diet of trout in European rivers. This range covers all stages of development, from larvae to emergers, through to adults resting on the surface or moving above the water, enabling precise adaptation to the conditions of the moment.
Sedge imitations are particularly effective for surface fishing. Their carefully crafted profile, their worked wings and the use of high-buoyancy materials ensure an excellent sit, even in strong currents. Their stability and good visibility make them easy to follow during the drift and make them especially effective during hatch periods or at dusk, when trout actively concentrate on adult caddisflies.
