Field Notes

This is a dry fly cricket pattern meant to imitate terrestrial insects along grassy banks and undercut edges. Fish it dead-drifted near shore, often with a dropper underneath, when trout are looking up for surface food.

Pros

  • Effective terrestrial imitation for bank fishing
  • Light hackle and deer hair head help it float and ride naturally
  • Can be used as a dry fly with a dropper setup

Cons

  • May be hard to see in low light due to all-black color
  • Best when fish are feeding on terrestrials, not a year-round search pattern
