Field Notes

A traditional wet fly pattern designed to imitate emerging insects or drowned adults when fish are feeding just below the surface. It is a good choice at the start of a hatch, especially when insects are active but trout are not visibly rising.

Pros

  • Classic attractor-style wet fly
  • Effective during the early stages of a hatch
  • Simple, proven pattern

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish are aggressively feeding on the surface
  • May be less effective in very fast or very dirty water
