Clip art fly. Puffy patch. Tall trucker crown that sits on top of your head like a billboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eThis one is different.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a real Elk Hair Caddis — tan elk hair wing swept back, olive and gold ribbed body, brown hackle, and that gold hook that glints when it hits the light. Not a cartoon. The actual fly that makes a big brown trout on the White River come up and eat at dusk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe put it on our low-profile 5-panel camper because that's the hat that actually sits right. No foam board. No tall crown. Just soft cotton twill that breaks in after two wears and sits low and clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eWhat is a Dry Fly?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA dry fly floats on top of the water. You cast it, it sits on the surface, and the trout has to come up and eat it. It's the most visual, most addictive way to fly fish. And the Elk Hair Caddis is the one fly that works from Arkansas to Montana — May to October, trout can't leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eWhy you'll wear this one more than your rope hat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-inside list-disc whitespace-normal [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;li]:ps-6\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-1 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:inline\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eIT SITS LOW\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- True 5-panel camper construction.
