FAQs

What size Compara Dun should I use?

The appropriate size depends on the size of the mayflies hatching in your area. Sizes 14, 16, and 18 are available. Observe the natural insects to determine the best match.

How do I maintain the fly's buoyancy?

Apply dry fly floatant regularly. Allow the fly to dry before applying the floatant. Replace any flies that become waterlogged or damaged.

Can I use this fly in still water?

Yes, the Compara Dun is effective in both rivers and still waters. Adjust your presentation accordingly.

How long will the fly last?

With proper care and storage, the Compara Dun should last for many fishing trips. Inspect the fly after each use and replace it if it becomes damaged.

Troubleshooting

Fly not floating properly.

Apply dry fly floatant to the fly before fishing. Ensure the fly is dry before applying the floatant. Replace any waterlogged flies.
