| Use |
This is a dog-day
fly. Used in central Pennsylvania's chalk/freestone creeks when
the trout have had it all and the water is clear. late summer
and fall is best. Windy conditions with an overcast sky are
ideal.
This fly was invented by Steve
Lopatic of Harrisburg Pa when he noticed that the wind and
squirrels dumped trash out of the low overhanging trees into the
feeding lanes of inactive trout, turning on the trout as though
there was an important hatch going on.
