FLY TYING
Deer Hair Sedge hog The original Sedge Hog pattern came from the tying bench of Orkney angler, Sandy Nicholson, and was designed as a semi-buoyant wet fly for stillwater trout. In this adaptation, I have excluded the seal’s fur body and the front hackle, as per the original, and use only deer hair to represent the larger members of the caddis family, not only on my home brown trout waters, here in Norway, but it has also proven to be a deadly attractor pattern when fished as a surface lure, when night fishing for sea trout.
