Field Notes

A classic dry fly meant to ride high on the surface and imitate an adult insect or attract fish in a general dry-fly presentation. It is especially useful on faster water where its buoyant hair construction helps it stay visible and afloat. Fish it dead-drifted or with light twitching when trout are rising.

Pros

  • Floats well in fast water
  • Highly visible on the surface
  • Versatile attractor dry fly

Cons

  • Can be too general when fish are keyed to a specific hatch
  • May need frequent floatant in rough water
