This group of flies imitates a mayfly or midge in its hatching form just before its wing develops. It’s a very successful pattern because the fish recognize the fly as vulnerable and can’t fly. Every time you attach this bug to your tippet, you’re offering an “easy meal,” and there are a lot of big, smart fish that prefer their dinner served without a chase.
Please note the sizes 20 and 18 on this fly. The hook is a Daiichi 1270 which is a 3X long, making the body length size like an 18 and 16.
