12-Pack Elk Hair Caddis

It's not fly fishing season just yet, but these Caddis dry flies look top notch. I've tied flies in the past and none of mine ever looked this good. Contrary to my pictures, the flies look pretty consistent and the materials are secured well. There's plenty of elk hair to keep them floating. I can't wait to try them out this summer!

These are nice quality fly fishing flies. You get 4 different flies, 3 of each. This gives you a variety of options depending on what you are fishing for. I am in the Midwest and where I'm at we don't have too many trout but the good thing about these is they catch a variety of species. Bluegill loves these types of flies, as well as bass, so you are going to catch fish. The price here is very affordable for getting 12 flies in a pack. Most stores around here charge far more for the same type of flies. I really like the little case that comes with it. I don't like carrying around much while fly fishing so it's nice to have a small container to fit in my pocket. Would recommend!

We ordered the "assortment". As far as value $1.42 per fly is a good price since they appear assembled more than adequately and use good hair material. Now believe it or not, I have spent time tying my own flies, but that was a lifetime ago. In today's modern global economy, I let other folks do the grunt work. Now I understand both of the hobbies of fishing versus tying flies, but my primary hobby is the fishing. Other folks may like tying flies more, and there is great value in that as a hobby as well.Regarding my 4 stars, this is due to the "assortment" which should have been quantity 4 of each of three sizes. We received quantity 2 of the larger size 14, quantity 4 of size 16 and quantity 6 of size 18. See our pics here for details.Key Points:- hair is of proper proportion to these sizes with good stiffness to perform.- colors are good with that slight variation in the assortment- Caddis fly style is a great all purpose type of fly pattern for alot of fish and locations. This is a very typical (really stereotypical) north american Caddis dry fly for trout.- no loose thread or tied material and good consistency of this quality factor- no noticeable glue dabs.- good dispersion of elk hair "wings".We hope this information is useful toward your decision. Cheers ! !

First, the price on these is great. Now, if you tie your own, you can definitely beat the price, but for purchasing, these are about 50% what they cost at a fly shop.The bodies are tied great without any sign of a loose thread. No visible glue gobs. The material patterns differ allowing you to match the hatch.They are dry flies, so you would be looking to present the fly on the top of the water. This small of a fly can catch the big ones, but often they will swallow it deep before the hook sets - so you want a hook extractor on your vest that lets you caringly get the hook loose.In all, it's a good kit, with quality flies, at a great price.

Love the flies and caught trout all morning. Please include on paper all the flies and number of flies, several different assortments were found enclosed. Written on the plastic containers works as well.😊

Great customer service!

I recently took these out on the water and am really pleased with how they performed. Right out of the packaging, you can tell the quality is there. The wrapping is tight, everything is clean, and there are no messy glue spots around the eyelets, which makes tying them onto your line a breeze.They ride high on the surface exactly like they should and have a great natural look that holds its shape even after catching a few fish. For the price, getting an assortment like this is a fantastic value compared to what you usually spend at a local shop. It is a solid, reliable set that sits perfectly in the box and does exactly what it is supposed to do.

As an Amazon Vine reviewer, I get to try a wide range of products—some brand new and others that have been around for years. Over time, I’ve developed a pretty consistent rating system. Most of my reviews land at four stars when a product works as expected but doesn’t necessarily stand out as exceptional. For something to earn five stars, it has to go above and beyond in performance, quality, and overall value. Reviews are subjective—what impresses me might seem average to someone else. In the end, this is just my opinion, and your experience may vary.THROUGH THE AMAZON VINE PROGRAM, I RECEIVED this Elk Hair Caddis Dry Fly Assortment 12-pack, and after spending some time using them on the water, I’d rate them a solid ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 stars).If you’ve done any trout fishing, you already know the Elk Hair Caddis is a go-to pattern—and for good reason. It’s a proven fish catcher in rivers, streams, and even calmer water. This assortment covers a good range of sizes (14, 16, and 18) and colors (black, brown, tan, and olive), which gives you flexibility to match different conditions and hatches without overthinking it. 👍Right away, I liked the variety included in the pack. Having multiple color options is helpful depending on water clarity, light conditions, and what the fish are keyed in on. The size selection is also practical—small enough for pressured fish but not so tiny that they become frustrating to tie on or see.In terms of performance, these flies float well right out of the box. The elk hair does its job keeping them riding high, and with a little floatant, they stay on the surface longer. I had no issues getting clean drifts, and they were easy to track even in moving water. 🎯The hand-tied construction is decent overall. They’re not boutique fly-shop quality, but they’re far from junk. The wraps held together through multiple fish, and I didn’t have any fall apart immediately—which is something I’ve seen with cheaper assortments. That said, you can tell these are produced with value in mind. Some flies may have minor inconsistencies, but nothing that kept them from catching fish.Where this lands in the four-star category for me is mainly in the fit and finish. While they perform well, they don’t quite have that ultra-clean, perfectly proportioned look you’d get from higher-end, individually tied flies. For many anglers (myself included), that’s not a dealbreaker—but it’s worth noting.Now let’s talk about the price point 💰—this is where the set really makes sense. For a 12-pack covering multiple sizes and colors, it’s a good value. If you fish regularly, you know flies get lost, chewed up, or left in trees (it happens to all of us 😄), so having an affordable assortment like this is a smart move.Bottom line: These Elk Hair Caddis flies are reliable, effective, and priced right. They may not be premium, hand-crafted showpieces, but they absolutely do what they’re supposed to do—catch fish. For that reason, I’m comfortable giving them a strong four-star rating.If you’re looking to stock up your fly box with a proven pattern without spending a ton, this set is definitely worth a try. 👍

Smaller than advertised

Nice flies, I haven't had a chance to throw them yet, but based on build / quality alone they will get the job done. All the material feels quality, not all artificial stuff. They are super light so floating shouldn't be an issue. All the eye holes are clean, no glue or epoxy glooped over the hole. Definitely worth adding to your arsenal.
