Field Notes

Use this fly when trout are keying on hatching midges, especially during calm periods and light surface activity. It can be fished as a dry fly or as an emerger in the film to imitate an insect struggling to hatch.

Pros

  • Effective midge imitation for selective trout
  • Can be fished as both a dry fly and emerger
  • Small profile matches natural hatch conditions

Cons

  • Tiny fly can be difficult to see on the water
  • Best when fish are focused on midges, so it is situational
