The Great Red Sedge is the largest Caddis/Sedge fly that hatches in British Isles. These flies are a popular choice for Lakes and Rivers across the UK, a good summer choice and perfect for evening fishing. The larva makes its case from plant material, which it fashioned into a spiral tube. After hatching, the adult emerges and heads for land, where it rests among the stones and low bushes. In Ireland in particular the common name Murrough is used more often than, the Great Red Sedge.
All of the materials needed to tie this fly are available from Glasgow Angling Centre as listed below, but as always, if you need any help finding materials or substitutes then we'll be happy to help. Time to tie the Great Red Sedge, with the guidance of Davie McPhail.
