Field Notes

A classic soft hackle wet fly for drifting through runs, swinging across seams, or fishing just under the surface film. The bead head helps it get down faster and keeps it in the strike zone in moving water.

Pros

  • Classic, proven wet fly pattern
  • Bead head adds sink and flash
  • Effective for swinging or dead-drifting

Cons

  • Not ideal for stillwater topwater presentations
  • Small profile can be hard to see in low light
