Dark Blue Sedge
Adult:
The Dark Blue Sedge Adults generally show up to deposit their eggs in the early
evening. They will usually start to hatch after the sun goes down and last on into
the early evening. Sometimes the water gets covered with these caddisflies. They
skim the surface as if they are trying to drag the eggs off their abdomens.
Presentation:
The best way to fish the egg laying part of the hatch is to start in the late
afternoons just about sunset. At that time you may see them hatching. It is
sometimes difficult to tell what is going on when both the pupae are hatching and
the female adults are laying eggs. By dark both events will be occurring. Fish the
pupa imitation first. Then switch to the adult fly when you think the egg laying
starts. Normally flies skipping around on the surface indicates the egg layers.
Since is it usually very low light and the adults are also dark, it doesn't hurt to
make a slight disturbance on the surface with your "Perfect Fly" Adult Dark Blue
Sedge imitation. I use whichever is the easiest presentation to get the fly to
where the trout are feeding on the egg layers. They want be able to see the fly
enough to know you can't really make it fly like the naturals, or at least I can't do
that. I'm kidding but I am serious about adding some action to the fly. Fly patters
have been developed by other companies to imitate this fluttering but I think it is
more of a name that reality.
Listen and watch for the trout to take the egg layers. They normally do so with a
surface disturbance that is easy to see and hear. That is where you want to
place your fly as quickly as you can. I had rather fish the egg layers from the
banks. That way you can move around. If there are trees and bushes you cannot
do that of course. You will have to wade.
