Field Notes

This is a high-floating dry fly designed for windy conditions and visible presentations to rising fish. Fish it on a floating line, cast to surface feeders, let it sit briefly, then give it a small twitch to imitate a struggling insect.

Pros

  • Floats high for easy visibility
  • Works well in breezy conditions
  • Simple dead-drift or twitch presentation

Cons

  • Best only when fish are feeding on the surface
  • Small size can be hard to see in low light
