Field Notes

Fish this as an emerger pattern when mayflies are transitioning from nymph to adult, especially during BWO, PMD, sulphur, or trico hatches. It works well fished off the bend of a dry fly or as a single fly in slow to moderate currents where trout are keying on emerging insects just below the surface.

Pros

  • Highly effective emerger imitation for selective trout
  • Foam back adds visibility and buoyancy
  • Barbless hook is trout-friendly

Cons

  • Best when fish are feeding on emergers, so hatch timing matters
  • Small fly can be hard to see and handle
