FAQs

What size fly should I use?

Sizes 14-18 are available. Choose the size that best matches the insects present on the water.

What is the best way to present this fly?

Cast upstream or up and across, allowing the fly to drift drag-free over the trout's feeding lanes.

How do I maintain the fly's buoyancy?

Use a dry fly floatant before fishing and reapply as needed.

Can I use this fly in different water types?

Yes, it is suitable for various still and moving water environments, but presentation and size selection may need to be adjusted.

What kind of tippet should I use?

Match your tippet size to the fly size and the water conditions. Finer tippets (e.g., 6X or 7X) are often recommended for clearer waters and smaller flies.

How do I store the flies?

Store the flies in a fly box to protect them from damage and keep them organized.

What species can I catch with this fly?

This fly is primarily designed for trout fishing.

Troubleshooting

Fly is not floating properly.

Apply dry fly floatant to the fly before fishing and as needed throughout the day.

Trout are not taking the fly.

Adjust fly size to match the hatch, change presentation, or try a different pattern.

Fly is sinking too quickly.

Ensure fly is dry before use and reapply floatant. Check for any damage to the fly that might be causing it to sink.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Attaching the Fly: Tie the fly securely to your leader using a reliable knot, such as the improved clinch knot or the Palomar knot.
  2. Leader and Tippet: Use a tippet that matches the fly size and the conditions. Fine tippets (e.g., 6X or 7X) are often best for small flies in clear water.
  3. Casting: Practice your casting to ensure accurate presentation. A gentle presentation is often best to avoid spooking trout.
  4. Care: After use, rinse the fly with fresh water to remove any debris. Store the fly in a fly box to protect it from damage.
