This has quickly become one of our go-to dry flies through late spring and summer. It ticks all of the boxes I have for a small stream dry fly: 1) Floats REALLY well, 2) is easy to see, and 3) fish love 'em.
You can easily change colors to replicate whatever color scheme is working on your home waters, but in Virginia yellow is a go-to as we start to get heavier hatches of Yellow Sallies. There could be no relation to trout loving these and Yellow Sallies, but undeniably the yellow outperforms other colors we've tried in our Central VA streams.
The other reason I love this fly is for how much weight it can support. You can run this as the dry in a dry/dropper setup and have some rather large flies floating off the back of it!
This fly is not overly complicated, and when tied correctly will float all day!
We have all the materials for this fly in the shop, and online, but I suggest checking in with you local fly shop first!
