Field Notes

Use this as a dry fly when trout are feeding on small mayflies or other delicate surface insects. It works best on calm to lightly riffled water with a drag-free drift and a subtle presentation.

Pros

  • Excellent mayfly imitation
  • Natural profile for selective trout
  • Simple, effective dry-fly pattern

Cons

  • Can be hard to see in low light
  • Less effective when fish are not rising
