Our best ‘all round’ dry fly for when the fish are looking up. The brown body is suggestive of a mayfly, while the hopper legs are more imitative of a terrestrial insect. If the fish are rising (or you think they should be looking up) but you are not sure what they are feeding on, this fly will bring them up. Size 10.
The deer hair hackle also gives the fly excellent buoyancy, allowing it to be pulled across the top when there is a bit of chop on the water. Whatever the situation, this fly gets eaten!
