This fly imitates a large mayfly, specifically a Green Drake in this size and color, that is stuck in its shuck or struggling to break through the surface film. Large trout often target these helpless insects because they cannot fly away. You should keep this pattern in your box for days when fish are feeding on the surface but refusing high-floating duns.

It shines on cloudy days or in slower water where trout have a long time to inspect your fly. Use it when the hatch is in full swing and there are many naturals on the water.

A well-known pattern on rivers like the Dream Stream in Colorado, these flies are small and simple to imitate Tricos, BWOs, and more. Whether you're fishing this fly in Purple, Gray, Olive, or Black, it's a lifelike pattern with a slim profile that helps anglers fool picky trout. This also works well as a dropper pattern off of a larger dry fly when you're fishing undercut banks or runs and riffles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eSizes Available:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e18, 20, 22\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eColors Available:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eBlack, Gray, Olive, Purple\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 18","offer_id":48478269571305,"sku":"SKU052857255591-SM052","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray \/ 18","offer_id":48478269604073,"sku":"SKU052857255621-SM051","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ 18","offer_id":48478269636841,"sku":"SKU052857255652-SM053","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple \/ 18","offer_id":48478269669609,"sku":"SKU052857255683-SM050","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 20","offer_id":48478269702377,"sku":"SKU052857255607-SM054","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray \/ 20","offer_id":48478269735145,"sku":"SKU052857255638-SM049","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ 20","offer_id":48478269767913,"sku":"SKU052857255669-SM055","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple \/ 20","offer_id":48478269800681,"sku":"SKU052857255690-SM045","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 22","offer_id":48478269833449,"sku":"SKU052857255614-SM048","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray \/ 22","offer_id":48478269866217,"sku":"SKU052857255645-SM009","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ 22","offer_id":48478269898985,"sku":"SKU052857255676-SM060","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple \/ 22","offer_id":48478269931753,"sku":"SKU052857255706-SM043","price":2.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/umpqua-flies-sparkle-wing-rs2-tungsten-bead-fly-1199955048.jpg?v=1761888499"},{"product_id":"top-secret-midge-fly","title":"Top Secret Midge Fly","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen you're looking to fool picky trout that are gorging themselves on tiny midges, the Top Secret Midge Fly is one that you should have at the ready. Created by Pat Dorsey of Evergreen, Colorado, the Top Secret Midge gets its name from a secret and unconventional material that Pat uses to form the wing. While it looks like a lot of materials that you might find on the wall of a fly shop, Pat feels that it gives an extra touch that other materials just can't match. Designed with a segmented thread body, dubbed thorax, and that special wing material, this fly does a fine job at representing most midge pupae, and it's a great choice whenever you see the adults emerging from the water.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eA solid midge pupa imitation, this fly excels when fished above the bottom of the water and even greased and fished right in the surface film.
