Troutline Special Super Floating Light Olive Sedge BL

Our Special Super Floating Light Olive Sedge is known also as Grannom Sedge Fly is a very effective pattern designed to imitate the well-known green sedge. It is a practical fly for anglers who want a reliable imitation during sedge activity, especially in spring and early season conditions. This pattern has proven successful on many waters, from northern rivers in Lapland to streams and rivers in Central Europe and Italy.

One of the main advantages of this fly is its versatility. It can be fished in several ways, which makes it especially useful for beginners who want to learn more than one presentation with the same pattern.

You can fish it as:

• a dry fly, floating naturally on the surface
• a dead-drift fly, letting it move naturally with the current
• a wet fly, just under the surface or slightly deeper

This is important because grannom and other sedge species are not active only on the surface. When adults hatch, they can drift naturally in the film, struggle on the water, or sometimes return to the water to lay eggs. During egg-laying, some sedges may dive or swim below the surface, and trout often take advantage of this behavior. That is why this pattern can be effective both as a floating fly and as a lightly sunken or wet presentation.

For best results, fish it late in the evening or very early in the morning, when sedge activity is often strongest. In rivers with visible hatches, it is a very good idea to watch the water first. If you see surface takes, fish it dry. If fish are refusing the dry or feeding just under the surface, try the same fly as a wet fly.

For beginner fly fishermen, this is a very useful pattern because it teaches an important lesson: one insect can be imitated in more than one stage and more than one position in the water. Instead of changing flies too quickly, you can often get better results by changing the way you fish the same pattern.
