Field Notes

Use this fly when trout are keying on small yellow stoneflies, especially during a hatch or when adults are active near the surface. It works well as a dry fly in riffles, seams, and pocket water where trout are feeding opportunistically.

Pros

  • Matches a common stonefly hatch
  • Effective in riffles and broken water
  • Simple, proven trout pattern

Cons

  • Can be less effective when no hatch is present
  • Small dry flies can be hard to see in glare or rough water
