Field Notes

A lightweight stillwater nymph pattern for trout, especially when fish are feeding below the surface. Fish it on a floater or sinking line with a slow retrieve or short pauses to keep the fly in the strike zone.

Pros

  • Effective stillwater trout pattern
  • Works on a wide range of line types
  • Lightweight and versatile

Cons

  • Not a surface fly
  • May be less effective if fish are keyed on larger prey
