Field Notes

Use this as a surface fly for bass when fish are feeding near the top, especially around shade, cover, or calm water. Work it with short strips and pauses to create a pop-and-sit presentation that imitates a struggling insect or baitfish on the surface.

Pros

  • Strong surface disturbance to trigger aggressive strikes
  • Simple to fish with strip-and-pause retrieves
  • Effective around cover and low-light periods

Cons

  • Less effective when bass are not looking up
  • Can be ignored in very clear or heavily pressured water
