Field Notes

A delicate dry fly pattern for matching small mayflies and other surface insects. Fish it dead-drift on calm to lightly riffled water when trout are rising selectively. Best used with light tippet and a drag-free presentation.

Pros

  • Excellent mayfly imitation
  • Light, natural profile
  • Good for selective trout

Cons

  • Small and delicate
  • Can be hard to see in low light
  • Less effective when fish are not feeding on top
