Description
The Light Cahill Nymph, named after the iconic Light Cahill dry fly, is a traditional pattern designed to mimic the nymphal stage of light-colored mayflies, such as the Pale Evening Dun (PED) or Light Cahill. First tied in the early 20th century by Theodore Gordon, this nymph pattern is known for its versatility and effectiveness in both freestone and tailwater streams. Its light coloration and subtle segmentation make it an excellent choice during mayfly nymph activity. Size 16-24
