Field Notes

This is a dry fly pattern meant to be fished on the surface, especially when trout are feeding on emerging insects during a sedge or caddis hatch. It works well skated or drifted naturally in moving water to imitate an adult insect struggling on top.

Pros

  • Excellent surface wake-making dry fly
  • Good match for caddis/sedge hatches
  • Simple, proven trout pattern

Cons

  • Can be less effective when fish are feeding below the surface
  • May require careful presentation in calm water
