Field Notes

Fish this in the surface film during the Hawthorn hatch, especially in late April and the following couple of weeks. It is meant to imitate a small black terrestrial on rivers, reservoirs, and stillwaters for trout. Do not apply floatant; the CDC post helps it sit naturally in the film.

Pros

  • Natural surface-film presentation
  • Good match for a short seasonal hatch
  • CDC post adds buoyancy and visibility

Cons

  • Very seasonal use window
  • Not intended for heavy floatant application
