Description

Spotts’ Western Green Drake Realistic Green Drake Dry Fly for Big Trout Spotts’ Western Green Drake is a highly realistic dry fly designed for one of the most exciting hatches in trout fishing— big Green Drakes . This pattern fishes well anywhere large drakes show up, and it’s built to fool even the most selective trout when they’re keyed in on full-sized mayflies. As Andy puts it: “This fly works great across the country wherever big Green Drakes are found. A realistic surface fly with rubber legs for the pickiest of picky big browns and bows.” The lifelike profile and rubber legs give it the movement and footprint trout expect during a true Green Drake hatch. When fish are locked onto big bugs, this is the kind of fly that can pull up serious browns and rainbows . Pro Tip: Because it’s a larger dry fly, Andy recommends fishing it on 3X or 4X tippet to prevent tippet twist and help it track correctly on the surface. Best For Green Drake hatches across the West and beyond Big brown trout and picky rainbows Rivers where trout are keyed on large mayflies
