Evergreen Eastern Green Drake Dry Fly

Whether you are waiting for the late-night green drake hatches on Penns Creek or praying for an emergence on your favorite unnamed tributary, the Evergreen Eastern Green Drake Dry Fly is one that you can count on to match these massive mayflies. Hatching sometime between the end of May and into June, depending on where you are, the green drake emergence is an awesome hatch that brings even the biggest fish to the surface. When this hatch is on, it is important to have a fly that you have confidence in, and the Evergreen Eastern Green Drake Dry Fly is a pattern that you can always rely on. Tied to match the large profile of these mayflies while imitating their cream colored abdomen, this dry fly is tied with a moose fiber tail, two-tone dubbed body with a pheasant tail shellback and segmented ribbing, and features mallard wings hackled with a light olive feather.

The Evergreen Eastern Green Drake Dry Fly is a great imitation for these large mayflies and is a pattern that you should fish as soon as you see these bugs emerging. Not so much an attractor pattern, this is more the dry fly that you bust out once you see these big mayflies drifting on the surface. From there, simply cast over rising fish with a drag-free drift and you will see just why this pattern is so popular for fishing this incredible hatch.
