The Solitude CDC & Elk is a versatile dry fly that combines the buoyancy of elk hair with the delicate, natural movement of CDC feathers. This fly is designed to imitate caddisflies, making it an excellent choice during caddis hatches when trout are feeding actively on the surface. The CDC & Elks realistic profile and high-floating capabilities make it effective in both fast-moving streams and calm waters. Its lifelike presentation and durability make it a favorite among anglers looking to entice surface-feeding trout, particularly during evening caddis activity.
