Description

Not all Mayfly are successful in hatching and those that fail are easy pickings for the trout as they get stuck in the surface film which this fly represents perfectly. The foam thorax cover keeps it in the surface with the body hanging below.

Field Notes

Use this as a mayfly imitation when trout are feeding on or just below the surface during a hatch. The foam thorax keeps the fly riding in the film with the body hanging down, making it a good choice for selective fish and delicate presentations.

Pros

  • Excellent surface-film mayfly imitation
  • Foam helps keep it riding correctly
  • Good for selective trout during hatches

Cons

  • Best when fish are keyed on mayflies
  • Can be less effective outside hatch conditions
