This is a quick and rather easy tie that imitates the hatching stadium of one of Scandinavia’s biggest mayflies. This pattern is proven over many years to fulfill all the criteria’s I think is important. It floats really good for a long time, is very visible, even on windy days with waves and above all it sits in the surface with a realistic footprint and catches allot of fish!
