Description

The epic high riding foam pattern that imitates nothing and everything but nonetheless works great as an attractor and indicator, and fish seem to have no control when this fly passes over. If you are fishing with an indicator, you might as well fish with one that can catch and attract fish! This fly is definitely one of the best selling flies of all time and for good reason!

Field Notes

This is a high-floating foam attractor dry fly designed to ride well on the surface and double as a visible indicator fly. Fish it in riffles, pocket water, and other broken surface conditions where trout are looking up, or use it as the top fly in a dry-dropper rig to suspend a nymph below. The bold profile and visibility make it especially useful when you need to track your drift at distance.

Pros

  • Floats high and stays visible
  • Works as both attractor and indicator
  • Great for dry-dropper setups

Cons

  • Can be too bulky for very selective fish
  • Less effective when fish are keyed to tiny naturals
