Field Notes

Use this dry fly when trout are feeding on mayflies, especially during a Green Drake hatch. It is designed to ride high in rough water, so it works well in riffles, pocket water, and choppy runs where visibility and flotation matter.

Pros

  • High-floating profile helps it stay visible in rough water
  • Matches a large mayfly hatch well
  • Good choice for trout during surface feeding

Cons

  • Best only when fish are looking up
  • May be too large or conspicuous outside a hatch
