In this video, Simon connects a foam body Grey Drake Dun which works fantastic in the fall when these bigger mayflies come off. The abdominal area is made from 2mm foam rather of being called to lower water absorption which considerably enhances buoyancy. The fly is connected with water wicking fibers, and hackled vertically which permits it to shed water rapidly with a couple of incorrect casts. The vertical hackle can be cut horizontally on the water with nippers developing a lower riding fly for the pickiest of fish. Size and colors can be switched to simulate other mayflies depending upon the season or your regional fishery. Fish it and let us understand what you believe!
