FAQs

What size tippet should I use?

Use a tippet size between 4X and 6X, depending on the clarity of the water and the size of the fish. Finer tippets allow the fly to drift more naturally.

How often should I apply floatant?

Apply floatant before you begin fishing and reapply as needed throughout the day, especially after catching a fish or if the fly appears waterlogged.

What type of water is this fly best for?

This fly is best used in rivers and streams where Blue Dun mayflies are present and fish are feeding on the surface.

How do I store my flies?

Store your flies in a dry fly box to protect them from damage and maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

What is the best way to present the fly?

Cast upstream and allow the fly to drift naturally with the current, imitating the natural drift of a mayfly. Mend your line as needed to avoid drag.

Troubleshooting

Fly is not floating properly.

Apply dry fly floatant to the fly before fishing and periodically throughout the day. Ensure the fly is dry before applying floatant.

Fly is not attracting fish.

Check the size and color of the fly against the natural insects present. Try different sizes and colors until you find a match.
