It's the most overlooked hatch on the river. Don't be caught without this crucial imitation in your box. Craneflies are everywhere in the early summer. Trout love them, we have just missed the boat over many years of ignoring this precious food source

Field Notes

Use this cranefly larva imitation when trout are feeding on subsurface insects in early summer. It is a good choice for dead-drift presentations in rivers and streams, especially when fish are keyed on larger aquatic larvae near the bottom.

Pros

  • Matches an overlooked natural hatch
  • Effective trout food imitation
  • Beadhead helps it get down quickly

Cons

  • More specialized than general attractor nymphs
  • May be less effective when craneflies are not present
