FAQs

What is the best way to present this fly?

Cast upstream and allow the fly to drift drag-free. A natural presentation is key.

What size tippet should I use?

Use a tippet size appropriate for the fly size and the size of the fish. 6x or 7x tippet is often suitable.

Can I use this fly in still water?

While designed for rivers, it can work in still water, but its effectiveness is optimized for rivers.

How often should I apply floatant?

Apply floatant before each use and reapply as needed to keep the fly floating properly.

What kind of knot should I use to attach the fly?

Use a reliable knot like the clinch knot or improved clinch knot.

How do I store the flies?

Store the flies in a fly box to protect them from damage and maintain their shape.

What does "barbless" mean?

Barbless flies have no barb on the hook, making it easier to remove the hook from a fish's mouth and minimizing harm to the fish.

Troubleshooting

Fly not floating properly.

Apply floatant to the fly before each use. Ensure the fly is thoroughly dry before applying floatant.

Fish are not taking the fly.

Adjust the fly size or pattern to better match the insects the fish are feeding on.

Fly is getting waterlogged.

Ensure the fly is properly dried and apply floatant regularly. Replace the fly if it becomes too waterlogged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fly requires basic fly-fishing setup:

Attach to leader: Tie the fly to your tippet or leader using an appropriate knot, such as a clinch knot or improved clinch knot.
Choose the right rod and line: Select a rod and line weight suitable for the fly size and the expected size of the fish you are targeting. A lighter weight rod (e.g., 3-5 weight) is often preferred for dry fly fishing.
Use a suitable tippet: The tippet should be fine enough to allow the fly to drift naturally but strong enough to handle the fish. 6x or 7x tippet is a good choice for smaller sizes.
Care: After use, rinse the fly with fresh water to remove any debris and allow it to dry to prevent rusting. Store your flies in a fly box to protect them from damage and maintain their shape.
