Field Notes

This is a dry fly pattern designed to skate or drift on the surface during a sedge/caddis hatch. It works best when trout are feeding on adults near the top, especially in moving water where the wake-making profile can trigger strikes.

Pros

  • Excellent surface wake and visibility
  • Effective during caddis/sedge hatches
  • Simple, proven dry-fly profile

Cons

  • Less effective when fish are feeding below the surface
  • Can be delicate and require careful presentation
