Field Notes

A classic dry fly pattern for skating or dead-drifting on the surface during caddis or sedge hatches. It works best when trout are feeding on adults in moving water and you want a visible, wake-making presentation.

Pros

  • Excellent surface wake action
  • Effective during caddis/sedge hatches
  • Simple, proven dry fly pattern

Cons

  • Can be less effective when fish are keyed on subsurface insects
  • May require precise presentation in clear water
