Field Notes

Dead-drift this fly near spawning or dying salmon where trout are feeding on eggs, flesh, or carcass scraps. It is especially effective in Alaska-style salmon water and other cold, post-spawn situations where big trout key on easy protein meals.

Pros

  • Highly effective during salmon spawn and post-spawn periods
  • Simple dead-drift presentation
  • Good match for aggressive rainbow trout feeding

Cons

  • Very situational outside salmon-run waters
  • Can be less effective when fish are not keyed on flesh or carcass food
