Field Notes

Use this as a floating terrestrial dry fly when trout are looking up for hoppers, beetles, or other land-based insects. It works well along banks, under overhanging vegetation, and in pocket water where a visible attractor can draw aggressive surface takes.

Pros

  • High-visibility wing tuft helps track the fly on the water
  • Foam body floats well and imitates terrestrial insects
  • Versatile attractor pattern for trout and cutthroat

Cons

  • Can be less effective when fish are keyed on smaller, more exact imitations
  • Foam dries and rides high, which may look unnatural in calm, picky-water situations
