About the Hydrosyche Larva Trout Fly

My favourite method of fishing this pattern is no great secret, you fish it Czech style, upstream nymphing on fast water. Everything is done to get the flies down deep as quickly as possible. Favourite when fishing for the 'lady of the stream', Grayling.

Expert Tip:

The ever-popular hydropsyche larva. This is probably the most prevalent free-living caddis in our home waters in the UK, and whenever you turn over a few stones this is the one you are most likely to encounter. The colouration varies from river to river; the hydropsyches in a chalkstream tend to be a bright, vivid green, not unlike a rhyacophila, while further north you’ll find a darker, more olive colour. The gills are on the underside, in two fine rows.
