Field Notes

Use this nymph pattern when trout are feeding below the surface, especially in rivers and streams with moderate current. It is a classic subsurface fly for dead-drifting under an indicator or tight-line nymphing near the bottom.

Pros

  • Classic, proven nymph profile
  • Effective for subsurface trout feeding
  • Works well in a variety of water conditions

Cons

  • Not a surface fly
  • Can be less visible in very dirty water without added weight or indicator
