Another brilliant pattern from the vise of Mr Egan. This is not a subtle fly and is packed full of high-floating CDC fibers for both the wing and the hackle. As with other CDC flies, best to use a floatant like Loon Lochsa, Loon Top Ride, or Frog's Fanny.
Baetis mayflies hatch throughout much of the year, which makes the blue-winged olive pattern an excellent trout fly to always carry in your trout fly box. Trout can be fickle, so carry several "flavors" of baetis, including the blue-winged olive extended body, the blue-winged olive, and the blue-winged olive thorax.
The Chubby Chernobyl is a big improvement on a Chernobyl Ant, adding a bouyant and highly visible wing to a fly that already catches tons of fish.
This fly is an attractor used to immiate lots of bugs....from a stonefly to a beetle.
This fly is a great choice of fly to use as a dry dropper, since it can easily float most tungsten bead nymphs.
The Comparadun Style of wing, from underneath (you know...the fish perspective from below!) looks just like a mayfly with it's wings lowered. The tail makes it look like the nymph is crawling out of its exoskeleton, and to a trout, this means they need to grab that fly right now!This fly is also effective for the following hatches:
Pink Lady or Slate Brown Dun
Little Marryatt
Pale Morning Dun
Sulfur dun
White Winged Sulfur
The Maccaffertium vicarium mayfly begins hatching when the water temperature hits about 42 degrees Fahrenheit, which is usually March! The hatch is usually in the afternoon, and a spinner fall occurs later on that day. The March Brown fly pattern imitates this adult mayfly very well. These are generally big mayflies, which cause trout to feed with "reckless abandon", with big splashes being the typical bite.
This dry trout fly was originally tied by Dan Cahill to imitate the stenacron mayflies that hatch from late May through the summer. It is also effective at imitating Pale Morning Duns (PMD's), Red Quills and sulphurs.
Fish a beetle dry fly by throwing the fly hard at the water, so it splashes, just like the natural would when it fell, or was blow onto the rivers surface. Try drifting it, and if this doesn't work, strip the fly as though the beetle were frantically trying to run back to the safety of the shore.
The Sparkle Dun - Green Drake was developed by Craig Matthew's of Blue Ribbon Flies. This comparadun style pattern is as versatile as they get; a highly effective representation of all mayfly naturals. Also Available in Grey and Rusty Brown.
