Description

Devin's go-to pattern for when fish are actively taking flies on the surface. Tied in the "Spanish" method, CDC split wings and a hi-viz post, this style of dry fly is great for super selective trout.

Field Notes

This is a dry fly meant to be fished on the surface when trout are actively rising. It’s a good choice for selective fish on calm water or during insect activity, and the hi-viz post helps with tracking the fly on the drift.

Pros

  • Excellent surface presentation for selective trout
  • Barbless hook is easier on fish and simpler to release
  • Hi-viz post improves visibility

Cons

  • Best only when fish are feeding on top
  • Small dry flies can be hard to see in glare or rough water
