FAQs
What time of year is best to use this fly?
The Fulling Mill Iron Blue Dun Winged Dry Fly is most effective from May through late October, coinciding with the Iron Blue Dun mayfly hatches.
What size fly should I use?
The fly is available in sizes 14 and 16. Choose the size that best matches the size of the natural Iron Blue Duns in your area.
How do I ensure a good presentation?
Cast upstream or upstream-across and mend your line to achieve a drag-free drift. Observe the fish's feeding patterns and adjust your presentation as needed.
How do I keep the fly floating?
Apply a dry fly desiccant or floatant before fishing and reapply as needed to maintain buoyancy.
Where is this fly most effective?
This fly is most effective in rivers where Iron Blue Dun mayflies are present and trout are actively feeding on them.
How do I store the fly?
After use, rinse the fly with fresh water and allow it to air dry. Store flies in a dry fly box to protect them from damage and maintain their shape.
