Field Notes

A terrestrial dry fly pattern meant to imitate a daddy longlegs or similar insect. Fish it on the surface during warm-weather hatches, especially along banks, grass edges, and under overhanging cover. It can also be fished just below the surface when trout are feeding selectively.

Pros

  • Highly visible terrestrial pattern
  • Works both dry and just under the surface
  • Simple, proven trout fly

Cons

  • Not ideal for deep water
  • Can be delicate in heavy brush or rough water
