A generic mayfly dun imitation for trout fishing on rivers, especially when olive/Baetis mayflies are hatching. Fish it as a dry fly on a dead drift in riffles, seams, and softer current lanes where trout are feeding on the surface.

Pros

  • Good general mayfly imitation for spring and summer hatches
  • Light, natural profile for selective trout
  • Available in practical sizes 14 and 16

Cons

  • Best when fish are keyed on duns or emergers
  • Small dry fly can be hard to see in rough water
