FAQs
What size tippet should I use?
Use a tippet of 5X or 6X, depending on the size of the fly and the clarity of the water.
How do I make the fly float better?
Use a dry fly floatant before each use and after catching a fish. Squeeze the fly gently to remove excess water.
What's the best way to set the hook with a barbless fly?
A slow and controlled hook set is best to allow the hook to penetrate without tearing the fish's mouth.
How should I store the flies?
Store the flies in a dry fly box to protect them from damage and moisture.
Can I use this fly in fast-moving water?
Yes, but the effectiveness may vary. The fly is best suited for slower currents where trout can easily see it.
What kind of fish can I catch with this fly?
This fly is primarily designed for catching trout.
How often should I replace the fly?
Replace the fly when the hook becomes dull, the feathers are damaged, or the fly no longer floats effectively.
Troubleshooting
Fly is sinking
Apply dry fly floatant. Ensure the fly is clean and free of debris. Replace the fly if the CDC feathers are matted or damaged.
Difficulty hooking fish
Ensure a sharp hook point. Use a slow, controlled hook set to compensate for the barbless design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Wetting the Fly: Before each cast, gently squeeze the fly to remove excess water. Consider using a dry fly desiccant to enhance floatation.
