Light Cahill - Wulff: The Dry Fly That Pretends to Be a Pale Dun

Tiny, timeless, and a little bit theatrical—the Light Cahill Wulff dresses up as a Pale Morning Dun (or a Pale Evening Dun if it’s feeling moody) and convinces trout to believe the act. For anglers who like their rigs simple, effective, and just a touch theatrical. AXG Life — Life, Adventure-Ready.

Key Features & Design

• Type: Classic dry fly (Wulff style for better float and visibility)
• Sizes: Typically tied in sizes 12–18 — small and subtle where it counts
• Body: Light tan body that reads as a natural dun in the hatch
• Hackle: Ginger hackle for realistic movement and surface tension control
• Wings: Lemon-yellow wings for the right silhouette and daytime visibility
• Target: Designed to imitate Pale Morning/Evening Dun — very effective for trout

Performance & Benefits

This fly solves the eternal problem of “I see trout rising, but I don’t have the right fly.” The Light Cahill Wulff presents a convincing dun silhouette while staying buoyant and visible thanks to the Wulff profile and ginger hackle. Whether you’re stalking riffles at dawn or sipping coffee and casting at dusk, this little guy makes trout think brunch is served.

What it does for you:

• Keeps you on the water when picky trout are keying on Pale Duns.
• Wulff-style buoyancy reduces time spent fighting submerged wings—more fishing, less swearing.
• Sizes 12–18 cover common hatch scenarios so you don’t have to swap flies every five casts.
• Looks natural enough to fool trout, durable enough to survive your questionable knot-tying.

Who it’s for

Serious trout stalkers, weekend anglers who want reliable results, and anyone who appreciates a fly that performs without the drama. Fits right into the AXG Life kit—simple, dependable, and ready for whatever water you throw it at.
