Troutline Tactical Hairy French Sedge is a classic alpine sedge fly, inspired by patterns used for many years in the French, Swiss and Italian Alps. It is a highly effective dry fly for fast rivers, mountain streams and alpine torrents, where trout react quickly to strong surface signals.
This sedge works very well as a stimulator fly. Its hairy body creates a lively waterprint on the surface, helping the fly stand out in broken water and strong currents. When fished close to rocks, banks, pocket water or submerged structure, it can bring trout up from their holding places to attack.
For better floating ability and a more natural footprint, the traditional cock hackle has been replaced with wild hare hair fixed in a dubbing loop. This gives the fly a buggy profile, excellent buoyancy and a soft natural movement on the water.
