Field Notes

Fish this as a static dry fly during Caenis hatches when trout are sipping tiny insects off the surface. It works best presented delicately in calm water with floatant so it rides naturally and doesn’t drag.

Pros

  • Excellent match for tiny surface hatches
  • Can be fished very naturally and static
  • Floatant helps it sit correctly in the film

Cons

  • Very small size can be hard to see and cast
  • Requires precise presentation
  • Best only when trout are keyed on Caenis
