Why these fit

If you searched “upright”, the strongest matches are the dry flies with upright wings and upright-sitting profiles. Barbless Flies Blue-Winged Olive Upright, Barbless Flies Iron Blue Upright, and Barbless Flies March Brown Upright are all dry flies designed to sit proud on the surface. Barbless Flies Caddis Upright is a free-drifting caddis adult pattern, and Barbless Flies Skinny Upright Dun is an emerger-style option for hatch situations.

Technique notes

• Fish the dry flies dead-drift with a light leader and good floatant.
• Use Barbless Flies Blue-Winged Olive Upright and Barbless Flies Iron Blue Upright for smaller mayfly hatches.
• Use Barbless Flies March Brown Upright when larger mayflies are on the water.
• Barbless Flies Caddis Upright should be fished free-drifting.
• Barbless Flies Skinny Upright Dun is the better choice when fish are keying on emergers rather than fully hatched adults.

When to switch

Switch away from upright dry flies if fish are feeding below the surface, the hatch is sparse, or wind makes surface presentation difficult. In those cases, an emerger, nymph, or subsurface bait/lure presentation will usually produce better.
