Field Notes

A classic dry fly for presenting on the surface when trout are keying on mayflies or small caddis. Fish it with a delicate drift on calm to moderate water, especially during hatches or when fish are rising selectively.

Pros

  • Classic dry-fly profile
  • Can imitate dark olives or small brown adult caddis
  • Good for selective trout feeding on the surface

Cons

  • Small size can be hard to see
  • Best when fish are actively rising
