Goddard Sedge

The Goddard Sedge is one of the great prospecting flies and an excellent choice for heavy water. The deer hair body gives this fly great buoyancy for traveling through rough and tumble streams and it floats high in the water, making it visible in low light conditions. Color natural, green, amber. Deer hair flies in sizes: 10 (natural only,) 12, 14, 16.

"This is my favorite dry fly for searching out fish that are not rising and is often deadly on fish that are rising. One evening on Grand Lake Stream I was hooking landlocked salmon on what seemed like every cast. An old gent next to me wasn't catching anything. I gave him a Goddard, he hooked a salmon on the first cast. He left the pool with a salmon that almost touched the ground as it hung from his fingers."

"This was my first time fly fishing, and the fly was very forgiving. It was almost impossible to sink. I am happy to say that I caught a couple bluegills and a couple brown trout that day in the Catskills of New York, and I still have the fly. It has remained one of my favorites now that I have a little more experience under my belt. Thanks for making it a little easier for the beginner!"

"Another great heavey water fly, it floats like a cork. I caught a huge brown trout out of the Clark Fork's St Paul Rapids, a very narrow cleft between rock walls that the the river has to squeeze through along I-90 west of Missoula. I just tossed it upstream in the torrent and and saw this brown with shoulders, just nab it."
