What It Imitates: Single adult midges — those tiny, delicate bugs that make up the bulk of a fish’s diet, especially in winter and early spring.

Type: Dry Fly

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Sparse, ultra-realistic profile fools picky trout sipping tiny bugs
• Rides low in the surface film just like a natural midge
• Perfect for flat water and technical tailwaters (river below a dam)
• A go-to fly when trout are keyed in on the smallest dries

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it on a long, light tapered leader with a dead-drift across smooth runs, seams, and tailouts. Cast gently and watch carefully — takes are subtle. If you’re having trouble seeing it, try fishing it behind a small, visible dry like a Griffith’s Gnat as an indicator.

Where & When to Use: Best in winter and early spring when midges dominate the hatch chart, but works year-round on technical tailwaters and spring creeks.

Extra Tip(s): If it starts sinking, dry it off and use powdered floatant — gel floatant can weigh it down and ruin the natural ride.

What It Imitates: Mayflies that didn’t fully hatch — crippled or stuck in the surface film. Exactly what selective trout target because they’re easy, helpless meals.

Type: Dry Fly / Emerger / Cripple

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Low-riding, half-emerged profile fools the pickiest trout
• Sparse, realistic silhouette perfect for technical water
• Designed for tough hatch-matching situations when fish ignore duns (adults)
• A deadly pattern on spring creeks, tailwaters, or any slow water

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it on a tapered leader with delicate drifts over glassy water, slicks, or tailouts. Let it drift naturally and keep an eye out for subtle sips — trout often barely break the surface when eating cripples.

Where & When to Use: Best during mayfly hatches from spring through fall, especially on pressured rivers or flat water where trout study every bug before eating.

Extra Tip(s): Apply floatant only to the wing and hackle — leave the body untreated so it rides half in, half out of the film, just like a mayfly that couldn’t quite hatch. That’s often exactly what smart trout look for.

What It Imitates: A versatile attractor dry that suggests mayflies or just something buggy and edible — the purple body gives trout a different look they can’t resist.

Type: Dry Fly

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Parachute post makes it super easy to see
• Unique purple body trigger eats from curious trout
• Rides low in the film for a natural, delicate presentation
• A go-to searching pattern when you’re not sure what trout are keyed in on

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it solo on a 9 ft tapered leader for delicate, drag-free drifts, or run it as the top fly in a dry-dropper rig with a small nymph below.

Where & When to Use: Perfect for riffles, seams, and gentle pools from spring through fall — basically anytime you see fish rising or bugs on the water.

Extra Tip(s): Apply gel floatant to your dry fly before it ever touches the water to keep it riding high from the start. Then use powdered floatant throughout the day to dry and refresh the fly whenever it starts to sink.

What It Imitates: A high-floating attractor that’s part terrestrial, part general bug — hints at hoppers, beetles, ants, caddis, or just something big and juicy that trout want to eat.

Type: Dry Fly / Terrestrial

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Floats like a cork, even with a heavy dropper tied below
• Easy to see thanks to the poly yarn wing
• Super versatile — fish it as a terrestrial, a searching pattern, or a mini stonefly
• Tough foam construction handles aggressive strikes and rough water

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it alone on a tapered leader, or use it as the top fly in a dry-dropper rig with a heavier nymph below.

Where & When to Use: Deadly in summer and early fall when stoneflies and terrestrials are abundant. Fish it along grassy banks, under overhanging trees, or anywhere you’d expect bugs to fall in. Works well on rivers, creeks, and even lakes.

Extra Tip(s): Try smearing a little extra floatant on the body and legs to keep it riding high all day, especially if you’re running a heavy dropper below.

• Floats well and rides low for a realistic presentation

What It Imitates: Adult caddisflies skating or drifting on the surface — one of trout’s favorite meals from late spring through fall.

Type: Dry Fly

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• CDC and poly yarn wing combo keep it ultra-buoyant yet delicate
• Floats beautifully even in riffles, but still sits low enough to fool picky trout
• Super realistic silhouette — looks just like a caddis fluttering or trapped in the film
• A confidence fly anytime caddis are around, from big rivers to small streams

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it solo on a tapered leader for delicate, drag-free drifts, or run it as the top fly in a dry-dropper rig with a nymph below.

Where & When to Use: Best in fast riffles, pockets, and seams from late spring through early fall when caddis are active. Also great near the bank in the evening when caddis often flutter back to lay eggs.

Extra Tip(s): If it starts sinking, dry it off and use powdered floatant — gel floatant can weigh it down and ruin the natural ride.
