These are targeted by selective trout looking for insects that are on the water’s surface for a longer duration while laying their eggs. The butt end sits low while the foam front end and hair wing float high, topped with a bright orange indicator tuft. Barred legs finish the buggy, natural appearance of this natural looking fly.

Katherine Wilson –
This fly performs well in calm streams. The orange tuft stands out without being flashy, and the natural coloration makes it look realistic. I’ve seen trout take it consistently during early morning hours.
Jan Wilkins –
The floatation is good thanks to the foam and hair wing. It stays on the surface longer than expected. The dark egg sack adds to the realism, and it’s easy to tie on.

I’ve used this fly in several different water conditions and it works well in both clear and slightly murky streams. The barred legs help it look authentic and the fly holds its shape well.
