Description

The EP® Unusual is a high-performance dry fly tied with EP® Trigger Point® fibers — a material that changes the way you fish. Unlike traditional dry flies, it absorbs zero water, floats naturally, and holds up fish after fish without falling apart. 0% Water Absorption: Trigger Point® won't soak up water. A quick false cast or two and your fly is bone dry, ready to land softly on the surface again. Non-Stick Material: In warmer months, algae and surface debris can gunk up your fly. Trigger Point® fibers resist buildup, staying clean cast after cast. Natural Floating Properties: Trigger Point® floats beautifully on its own. Extreme Durability: Unlike natural materials, Trigger Point® lasts. You can catch fish after fish without changing flies. Trim-to-Fit Flexibility: Get a refusal? Don't sweat it. Just trim the fly down a size with your scissors and keep fishing. You do not have this flexibility with traditional materials.

Field Notes

This is a dry fly designed to fish on the surface with a natural, low-profile presentation. It is best when trout are taking insects off the top, especially in calm water or during selective feeding. The durable synthetic fibers make it a good choice when you want a fly that stays buoyant and can be trimmed to match the hatch.

Pros

  • Floats naturally with zero water absorption
  • Durable synthetic material holds up fish after fish
  • Can be trimmed to adjust profile

Cons

  • May be less realistic than traditional natural-material dry flies
  • Surface debris can still affect presentation in weedy or dirty water
