Field Notes

Use this dry fly when trout are keyed in on large mayfly hatches, especially on ponds and lakes. Fish it dead-drifted on calm to lightly riffled water where fish are feeding near the surface.

Pros

  • Matches a classic mayfly hatch profile
  • Good for surface feeding trout
  • Works well on ponds and lakes

Cons

  • Less effective when fish are not rising
  • Can be hard to see in low light or rough water
