The Stillwater Dun is one of my favourite Callibaetis mayfly dun imitations.
Although we typically don't see as much surface-feeding fish in productive lakes as we do in rivers and streams, stillwater trout have adapted to feeding near the bottom where it is safer and where most of their food lives. However, when trout do come up to the surface to feed, patterns such as my Stillwater Dun are well worth having in your fly box.
