Fly Fishing the Green Sedge Pupa

Sat, 12/12/2009 - 15:33 -- jmaslar

The Green Sedge Pupae General Description:
The green sedge (green rock worm) hatch occurs from early spring through the middle of summer and occasionally on a warm day in the fall of the year. There are over 100 species of the green sedge so it may be possible that the hatch can be extended depending on that particular species. Normally, as a hatch occurs, it will last over one month before all have hatched, deposited their eggs and die.

In the late afternoon hours in the spring, you will often see them emerging and swimming to the surface of the water. Later in the season, they will emerge in the early evenings..

 
 Presentation Information:
As with the pupa you should fish the imitation fly on the bottom of the fast moving waters, riffles, and runs. Of course weight will be necessary to compensate for the depth and the speed of the water. An alternative is to fish it as a dead drift somewhat below the surface, or you can fish it as if it rising to the surface. As you swing the rod, lift it up and let it down to simulate the movement of the pupa as it rises to the surface.
