Al Troth (May 30, 1930 – August 3, 2012) is an American fisherman, considered a pioneer in the sport of fly fishing. [1] He is known for his variations of popular trout fishing flies as well as the inventor of the Elk Hair Caddis fly.
The fly was inspired by several palmered flies Troth like to fish and G. E. M. Skues' Little Red Sedge fly which featured a hair wing. Originally tied to imitate the Green Caddis hatch, the Elk Hair Caddis has since been tied in a variety of wing, hackle and body colors to simulate different caddis and small stoneflies.

Fly fishing on the Gardner River in Yellowstone National Park, USA. Dry-fly fishing uses a line and flies that float. They are joined by a fine 3 to 5 meters long leader, typically of nylon monofilament line, which is tapered so that it is nearly invisible where the fly is knotted, and the angler can replace the last meter or so of nylon as required.
