FAQs

What is the best way to present this fly?

Cast upstream or up and across to allow the fly to drift naturally with the current. Avoid drag by mending your line.

What size tippet should I use?

Use a tippet size that matches the size of the fly and the conditions. Generally, 4X or 5X tippet is suitable.

How often should I replace my flies?

Replace flies when they become damaged, lose their shape, or no longer float properly.

Can I use this fly in both rivers and still waters?

Yes, it can be used in both, but effectiveness may vary depending on the local insect hatches.

What time of year is this fly most effective?

This fly is most effective during the seasons when olive spinners are hatching, typically spring and fall, but it can work throughout the year.

How do I store my flies?

Store your flies in a fly box to keep them organized and protected from moisture and physical damage.

Troubleshooting

Fly not floating properly.

Apply a floatant to the fly before use.
