Imitates almost anything small: midges, small black stoneflies, black caddis, microcaddis, etc. For more about this fly, see the article Tiny Flies.

Variations

Vary thread and wing color to match natural insects.

How to Fish

Do NOT dress the fly with floatant! When a fly no longer floats well, put it in a small container of powdered descicant, such as Dry Shake, and shake it up. This removes the moisture, and you're ready to cast again.

 
Use standard dry fly presentations.
