Pink Cahill
The Pink Cahill is a popular dry fly pattern designed for targeting light Hendricksons and larger adults of the Pink Alberts.
It performs well when fished near riffles in the seams, where the current creates natural feeding zones.
This fly is especially effective when Hendricksons exhibit a pink hue, making it a go-to choice in the Appalachian region.

I’ve used the Pink Cahill during several trout seasons in the Appalachians. It worked perfectly when the Hendricksons turned pink. The fly floats naturally and attracts fish consistently in riffle areas.
Eric May –
A solid choice for pink-hued insects. I caught a few trout on it during a late summer trip. It’s simple to tie and matches the natural color well.

Fished it near a rocky seam and got a solid reaction. The pattern is subtle and realistic, especially when the flies are in their pink phase.
