Field Notes

Use this as a buoyant hopper imitation on the surface, especially when trout are looking up during terrestrial activity. It is well suited to dry-dropper rigs because it floats high and can support a heavier nymph below it.

Pros

  • Floats high
  • Good dry-dropper indicator fly
  • Effective hopper imitation

Cons

  • Best only when fish are feeding near the surface
  • Can be too visible in calm, highly pressured water
