Field Notes

A classic mayfly imitation for trout fishing on rivers and streams. Fish it during mayfly hatches or when trout are feeding on the surface, using a dead-drift presentation with a light leader and minimal drag.

Pros

  • Effective mayfly imitation
  • Works across a wide range of trout waters
  • Simple dead-drift presentation

Cons

  • Can be hard to see in low light
  • Less effective when fish are not keying on mayflies
