Field Notes

Use this as a dry fly imitation of golden stoneflies on trout water, especially when stoneflies are active near the surface. It is well suited to drifting along seams, riffles, and banks where trout are looking up for larger insects.

Pros

  • Strong stonefly imitation for trout
  • High-visibility wing helps tracking on the water
  • Effective on the Deschutes and similar stonefly rivers

Cons

  • Best when fish are feeding on larger dry insects
  • May be too bulky for very selective or tiny-fly situations
