Fly Notes
Fishing Notes Fish light, degrease tippet, drift with the wind. If you need to, a small figure eight retrieve works best. On the odd occasion a full & fast as you can strip will often take shy fish. Don't know why, never seen a nymph swim a 40kph, but it works and is a great adrenaline rush when you get a wake up behind the nymph. Mainly a trout fly, but use wherever fish are surface feeding on local insects.
Location Notes Use wherever there are cruising or sipping trout.
Prey Notes Chironomid, bloodworm imitation when tied red.
