Field Notes

This is a dry fly pattern designed to ride on the surface with the abdomen and tail dipping into the film. It is best fished on a dead drift or gentle presentation to imitate an emerging insect and tempt selective trout in calm water.

Pros

  • Highly effective emerger-style dry fly
  • Good surface visibility
  • Works well for selective trout

Cons

  • Can be delicate to fish in rough water
  • Small size may be hard to see at distance
