  • Fishing Tips
    This mayfly imitation attempts to portray the dun as it struggles to free itself from the nymphal shuck, after the emerger stage. It can be tied in various colors to imitate other insects. This is a great pattern to fish dry, or slightly below the surface, struggling in the surface film.
