Coldwater This is a great fly to have either as attractor colors like purple or pink, or as natural colors like black or olive. This is a great pattern to change out materials to get the exact pattern you want. If you’re going for a more natural pattern, try using a CDC puff that comes out the back and front of the thorax! This will make the pattern a more cripple style dry fly for an easy looking meal. If you find that the dry is having trouble staying on the surface, use polypropylene as a wing instead of krystal flash.
This is a great flashy little midge emerger that will get the attention of tons of fish. With 70% of this fly being composed of flash, it will not go unnoticed during drifts. The klinkhamer style hook makes for a great imitation of an adult that is wiggling out of the nymph shuck, where it is most vulnerable for trout. This make this fly an easy pick for both trout and anglers.
For visibility, try fishing this with a larger dry fly in front of it, or a white yarn indicator around 12″ above the fly. If you don’t have indicator yarn, a 2″-3″ piece of polypropylene attached with a double overhand knot will work well. Try not to float this fly up too high, as some of the body is meant to be hanging in the water. If it starts to sink, add floatant to just the wing and hackle for best results.
