Dries

The consumate delicate mayfly dry fly. This is a purist pattern that works time and time again when fish refuse others.

The stand up fan of deer hair on the comparadun makes it an incomparable pattern for every mayfly hatch. MUST HAVE

A high visibility red quill spinner that works well dry or sunk at the end of the drift.

John Barr’s drowned spinner in Trico Black or Red Quill. Heavy thorax gets this fly down to where fish forage on drowned spinners.

The Profile Spinner gives you a Red Quill spent female that you can see. When fish are slurping spent bugs, this one dominates.

This fly is a perfect hatch matcher when fish are beginning to refuse parachutes and traditional adults. Sits low in the water and looks real.

The Umpqua Hi Vis Parachute series is a very visible, high riding dry fly with a bright orange post.

A big nasty dry fly that rocks the riffle water during the gray drake hatch on the Arkansas and Rio Grande.

The Film Critic is one of the best overall dry fly series since the Parachute Adams. This fly emulates a shuck dragging mayfly better than any other.

One of the oldest dry fly patterns around. It’s actually a Midge cluster for use during heavy Midge hatches. It also works well in Trico spinnerfalls and just as a “heave it and leave it” on high lakes. Gotta have it.

The age old Ginger Quill that works on Ginger and Red Quill hatches.

The long standing, use it for everything, dry fly. We’ve all fished it during Caddis hatched, or even a heavy Trico spinnerfall.
