An excellent imitation is an adult silverfish, the elk-hair caddis. This fly has a palmered body and sits high above the water's surface. The caddis' body will bounce back if the fly line is lifted lightly. This fly also looks like a large black-and gold fly. The elk hair Caddis is an extremely common species for fly fishing.
Fly pattern
This fly can be tied by first aligning the elkhair fibres with your hook's eye. Cut the fibres to the desired length. Once you have determined the length of the fibres, wrap two to three loosely around the hackles. Secure them to your hook by loose turns. Wrap the rest of your elk hair above the hook. The end of the hackle should be flush with the eye of the hook.
Lung length
An elk hair caddis wings should be the same length as the hook gape. When tying the elk hair wing, the bottom hackles should be cut as close to the hook as possible. Many tiers recommend that the wing be tied with stiffer hair, even though the original fly was made using Hare's Mask dubbing. Softer hair will flare up too much.

FAQ
How do I know if my lure works?
You should watch out for movement in your lure when it is thrown into the water. If your lure moves, it is functioning properly.
To fish, do we need a pole?
Yes! A bobber helps keep the bait in place when you fish. The bobber consists of two parts: the line and the float. You attach the hook and line to the lure. Once the line is out, let go of it. The lure can sink in the water if the bobber isn't used.
What happens if I catch a fish and lose it?
Part of the game is losing a fish. Sometimes, you will catch a fishing rod and then lose the fish. Try again when this happens. You will eventually catch another fish.
Can I fish in the morning?
Yes, you can fish any hour of the night. Only when fishing is prohibited is it not allowed to fish.
What gear is necessary for fishing?
A rod, reel line, hooks, line, bait, tackle box and some snacks. To catch fish you need to be able to cast, set up hooks, and use the bobber. Be patient and wait until you catch the fish.

How To
How to Perfectly Cast a Fishing Rod
You must first know how to cast a fish rod. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. You can increase the distance between the tip of the rod and the surface of the water by practicing this technique.
These are some tips that will make casting a fly rod easier if you aren't confident enough.
To begin, keep the rod as close to you chest as possible. By doing this, the rod will move in the right direction and you won't have to bend.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. By doing this, you'll be able to rest the rod securely while holding the reel.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fourth option is to purchase a fishing rod holder. These holders are designed to hold the rod firmly while keeping it upright. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice your casting technique until you feel comfortable with the motion. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. Wait for the right time to strike, then work hard to catch the fish.
