Field Notes

Fish this dry fly during mayfly hatches, especially when trout are keying on adults or emergers trapped in the surface film. The bead-tipped rear helps it sit low and imitate an egg-laying adult or an insect struggling to break free, making it useful on calm creeks and spring creeks with selective trout.

Pros

  • Realistic mayfly profile for hatch matching
  • Low-riding presentation can trigger surface-feeding trout
  • Useful as both an adult and emerger imitation

Cons

  • Can be harder to see in glare or broken water
  • Best when trout are actively feeding on mayflies
