Description

Once summer is well underway there are more yellow jackets out foraging. Enough of them find their way onto the water for trout to opportunistically feed on them. Even though this is made from foam, rubber and deer, it's surprisingly realistic looking, enough to make you flinch when you see it close to your skin.

Specifications

Field Notes

This is a terrestrial dry fly that imitates a yellow jacket, so it is best used when insects are active around the water in warm weather. Fish it as a surface presentation to trout feeding opportunistically on fallen or drifting terrestrials, especially near banks and overhanging cover.

Pros

  • Highly realistic yellow jacket profile
  • Effective during summer terrestrial hatches
  • Floats on the surface for visible takes

Cons

  • Specialized seasonal pattern
  • Can be less effective when insects are not present
