The Light Cahill is of the species interpunctatum. and they exist in eastern as well as mid western rivers. The hatch occurs over a relatively long period of time during the summer months starting in April and going thru the end of June, depending on the weather and the elevation. They can be effective in the higher elevations for fooling the Brook Trout. They are often confused with other species such as the Cream Cahills, so you will hear anglers say they have seen hatches as late as September, however, that is likely to be incorrect.

Presentation:

Present your dun imitation along the current seams of pocket water and the edges of the runs. Use short upstream or slightly upstream and across casts keeping your rod high. Keep as much line as possible up off the water to avoid a faulty drag. Use frequent short casts in order to cover as much water as possible remembering that the duns will not remain on the surface for long periods of time. Be sure to hit the best possible seams of water, and keep moving. Do not expect to see a heavy concentration of duns in any one area since they do fly away fast.

You might consider using a 2 foot size 4X tippet and keep the leaders around 8 feet in length to give you good control. As with any dry fly the presentation should be delicate.
