Sedgehogs are popular pattern and are very simple to be tied. We consider a “must have” fly because floats very well, better than a Goddard Sedge and the water print is very close to natural aspect.
The fly is mostly popular in UK but from some times is more and more popular in Alps rivers and torrents . In Italy became famous due to high durability at trout teeth and because floats excellent!
