Field Notes

A classic dry fly pattern for trout, especially when fish are looking up for adult insects or terrestrials. Fish it dead-drift on a drag-free presentation in riffles, seams, and pocket water, or skate it lightly if trout are keying on caddis. The barbless hook makes it a good catch-and-release option.

Pros

  • Buoyant dry-fly profile
  • Good imitation for caddis/terrestrial situations
  • Barbless hook is trout-friendly

Cons

  • Can be hard to see in low light
  • Not suited for subsurface presentations
