Field Notes

Fish this dry fly when trout are feeding on damsel flies at the surface, especially on stillwaters and calm water. It is best presented with a delicate cast and a natural drift near rising fish or along weed edges.

Pros

  • Matches a common trout surface food source
  • Good for selective fish feeding on top
  • Simple dry-fly presentation

Cons

  • Less effective when fish are not taking surface insects
  • Can be hard to see in low light or rough water
