the only dry fly i use.I tend to use a very light dubbing of seal fur and a very thin rib.don't use material on the body that will soak up water.on the cdc put some dry fly podwer etc ok frog's fanny is the best but way out of my price range :oops: also tie up at least 4 of the same colour body.After 3 or 4 takes the cdc has had it even if you wash it in the water the fish slime has got into the feather's.have fun they work great if the fish are sipping on the surface.The take is lift rod slowly and then pull you line slowly.you will get more takes that way as the fish tend to drown the fly before they take it.Another great trick with an f -fly pull the fly down into the water say 4"~5" and they let it float back up and hold on tight ;) ;)
