Rio Sparkle Dun - Callibaetis - Size 16
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
This fly sits low in the water and gives the fish a good look in slow glassy water. It is an excellent representation of an emerging mayfly.
In the mayfly world, a dun is an adult, and this pattern is a mayfly emerger imitation - meaning it is transitioning between the nymph to the adult. During this transition, trout key in on the insects knowing they are more vulnerable than usual. This fly is tied on a curved short shank hook with a parachute post for a most realistic profile.
