Field Notes

A midge-style Klinkhamer dry fly designed to ride low and imitate emerging insects on the surface. It is especially useful in the evening when trout are feeding on small hatches or sipping midges, and the buoyant post helps it stay visible and afloat.

Pros

  • Highly buoyant Z-Lon post helps the fly float well
  • Good visibility in low light
  • Effective as a small surface midge imitation

Cons

  • Small sizes can be harder to see and handle
  • Best when fish are keyed on tiny surface insects
