This fly is great because it imitates a variety of insects. We all have those days where the fish don’t seem to be eating anything. On these days, trudes seem to work exceptionally well. It must look enough like everything to get the trout willing to move. I’ve had some of my best days on these flies and it all started slow with no fish eating anything and then I tied this guy on and started finding fish. Use this fly when all else seems to be failing.
Fish these in a two fly set up where this is the first fly. I recommend using two of these flies in tandem. If you’re comfortable casting two dry flies, two seems to work twice as well (go figure right?) as opposed to just one.
Hit the banks and the fast water during the heat of summer with this fly. When nothing else seems to be working, these usually are and vice versa. A good fly to have 4-6 in your box for when you can’t figure them out. Size #12 is my favorite.
