In this video, Simon connects a Green Drake emerger for the pickiest of trout. Whether you’re fishing the Green Drake hatch in your area up on the Mckenzie, on the magnificent Metolius, or out east on a limestone spring creek in Pennsylvania, this fly is one that you desire. It is particularly connected to imitate an emerging Green Drake. The back of the fly is connected with ostrich, a product picked with water absorption in mind. This will drop the back of the fly into the water simulating a nymphal shuck. This is precisely what fish are searching for subsurface when they are being selective. The front of the fly is greatly hackled, has 3mm Hi Float Foam, in addition to Widow’s Web for optimum buoyancy. This fly will ride high and remain noticeable when fish are feeding upon Drakes in the riffles of the Mckenzie and Metious. It likewise will fish well in a tailout or spring creek, riding low looking extremely practical for scenarios where fish have longer to analyze your fly. This pattern can be embraced for practically any mayfly and sizes and colors can be replaced. In reality, it was initially established for the Black Drake hatch on the Williamson river. It was a tested winner there, so it just made good sense to bind a Green Drake variation. Whip some up and go out there!
