Field Notes

Use this dry fly when trout are feeding on small mayflies near the surface. It is best presented with a delicate cast and a drag-free drift in calm to lightly riffled water.

Pros

  • Simple, realistic mayfly profile
  • Good for selective trout feeding on dries
  • Easy to fish with a natural drift

Cons

  • Best when fish are actively taking surface insects
  • Can be hard to see in low light or rough water
