Fishing The Green Sedge (Caddisflies):
The Green Sedges or Rhyacophila species of caddisflies can be an important
insect to imitate. This is one of the free-living types of caddisflies. The larvae do not
build cases that they carry with them. These caddisflies are most available for trout
to eat. They live in a variety of habitat but for the most part, all species of them
prefer fast moving water. The riffles and runs of the freestone streams are the ideal
habitat.
The "rock worm" is the common name for the larva stage of them and the most
popular stage to imitate. Trout also eat the pupa stage as well as the egg laying
female adults. This stage of the Green Sedge can be imitated throughout the
season. The pupae stage is most effective during the hatch and the adult egg laying
stage just after a hatch has occurred.
There are numerous species of these caddisflies. In any one stream there may be
as many as a dozen or more species. These various species may hatch at different
times. Some may be prolific and others may be sparce. You should keep your eye
out for a hatch of the Green Sedges anytime, especially during the early season
