Description

In the 1880's a New York railroad worker called Daniel Cahill developed a fly that became famous all over America, the Light Cahill. It is a great general imitation of summer mayfly duns. It was originally designed to imitate a family of mayflies with the name of Stenonema. They begin hatching in late May and continue through June.
