Dcap240 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2014 CDC sparkle dun is my go to for most mayflies. Regular deer hair sparkle dun is another good one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mvendon 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2014 Hi streamtrout, I really like Rosenbauer's Rabbits Foot emerger. You can swap the body dubbing for turkey biots for a slimmer profile. Use different colored snowshoe and body colors to imitate all kinds of mayflies. I like the tail a little more sparse than what's shown in the link. I've caught lot's of nice trout through the years on it, usually on sizes 16 & 14. Here's a link. Welcome to the forum Regards, Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZWoolybugger 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 There really is no such thing as a 'best' anything. You should be trying to match the hatch, offer the fish something that it is feeding upon. (size, color, profile, movement etc. ) I fly will do great one day and might be totally ignored the next, totally frustrating, but that is fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
