When The Hatch is On, Be Ready.
We've all been there: the river comes alive, mayflies are lifting off the surface, and trout are rising everywhere. But they refuse everything you throw. This is the moment for precision. This is the moment for the Ultimate High-Floating CDC Mayfly.
Engineered by Nature
This isn't just another generic dry fly. We combined two of nature's most buoyant materials to create a fly that performs flawlessly. The body, spun from fine deer hair, is hollow and traps air, ensuring it floats like a cork. The wing, made from premium Cul de Canard (CDC), not only adds to the buoyancy with its natural oils but also creates a delicate, buggy silhouette that even the most educated trout can't resist. It lands softly, sits high, and looks alive.
How to Fish It
This fly is designed for classic dry fly fishing ("dead-drifting"). Cast it upstream into feeding lanes and let it drift naturally with the current, just like a real mayfly dun. The combination of deer hair and CDC requires minimal floatant. Often, a few false casts are all you need to dry it out and get it floating high again. It's the perfect tool for fooling picky fish in clear streams and spring creeks where presentation is everything.
