Elk Hare Caddis Olive Assortment Trout Fishing Flies (1-Dozen),Rose Gold

Good looking caddis, easy to tie and they catch fish

They catch fish. Good for one catch each, and maybe two or three sessions without a catch I have the most success with the smallest sizes, so I'll probably not get this assortment again as the larger 2 sizes haven't fooled any trout yet.

Used this fly pattern on the west branch of the Delaware.

Ok, these are pretty inexpensive for flies, so the old adage “you get what you pay for” applies. I have two complaints. These flies must be tied really quickly with little attention paid to detail. They are wound up so high that the thread blocks the eye of the hook forcing me to work the thread down away from the eye to get the tippet end through these relatively small flies. And the longer hairs of the caddis flies tend to come out over time as the flies are retied. I find each fly lasts about three uses and by that point they have lost enough hair they don’t look the same any longer. I won’t be buying any more of these.

All the same fly in different sizes.

Some were flat upon arrival, others not. Spend a little more money on them.

These arrived packaged in a box, no damage, not flat, and looking great. Since our state closed down again I haven't had the chance to use them but suspect they will be just fine.

No real Pro's but one disadvantage was the thread sealer is often in the eye of the hook so take your time to clear those out before hitting the stream.I don't mind the time it takes to re-tie a file or change styles but to have to clear the hook eye while wasting precious casting time is a PITAThese are just as good a quality (minus the lacquered over eyelet) than "O" sells for much more.
