Field Notes

A surface mayfly imitation for trout when duns are emerging and fish are feeding on the top. Fish it dead-drift on calm to lightly riffled water, especially during hatch activity and selective rises.

Pros

  • Realistic mayfly emerger profile
  • Floats in the surface film
  • Good match for hatch situations

Cons

  • Can be small and delicate to cast
  • Less effective when no hatch is present
