Field Notes

This is an emerger-style dry fly designed to sit in the surface film with the abdomen and tail dropping below the water. It works well on running water and still water when trout are keying on emerging insects, especially during a hatch or in calm feeding lanes.

Pros

  • Excellent emerger presentation in the surface film
  • Effective on both moving water and still water
  • Natural olive profile can match many hatch situations

Cons

  • Can be subtle and hard to see at distance
  • Best when fish are actively feeding on emergers
