Field Notes

Use this as a dry fly when trout are feeding on beetles and other terrestrials that have blown onto the water. It works best on calm to lightly riffled water with a dead-drift presentation or a subtle twitch to imitate a struggling insect.

Pros

  • Excellent terrestrial imitation for selective trout
  • Floats well for surface presentations
  • Simple, effective dry-fly pattern

Cons

  • Can be less effective when trout are keyed on subsurface insects
  • Small size may be hard to see in low light
