What It Imitates: A classic mayfly dun with a rusty brown body — perfect for matching Brown Drakes, March Browns, PMDs, late-season Baetis, and other mayflies with that warm, reddish-brown tint.
Type: Dry Fly
Pros (Why You’ll Love It):
- Subtle rusty color matches tons of mayfly hatches throughout the season
- Parachute post makes it super easy to spot
- Rides low in the film, just like a natural dun ready to get eaten
- A great alternative when trout snub the usual gray or olive patterns
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 mayflies 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’s in the Pack: 3x Parachute Trusty Rustys tied on premium hooks.
