Field Notes

This is a classic wet fly pattern meant to be fished in the middle or on the point of a wet fly cast. It also works well as a single fly on stillwaters when trout are keying on olive midges or green-bodied sedges.

Pros

  • Classic wet-fly profile for subsurface presentations
  • Versatile on stillwaters and in wet-fly casts
  • Natural olive/green body can match common aquatic insects

Cons

  • Not a high-visibility pattern in very dirty water
  • Best results usually depend on matching local insect activity
