Chimera

The Chimera, designed by Yakoda Supply, is a versatile dry fly that mimics a variety of insects, including hoppers, ants, beetles, gnats, and caddis. Originally developed for high-country trout like cutthroat and brookies in alpine lakes, it has proven effective in many different environments. Its multi-insect profile makes it an ideal searching pattern for the warmer months, as it covers a broad range of a trout's diet. Whether fished in small streams, larger rivers, or alpine lakes, the Chimera is a go-to fly for surface-feeding fish, offering a reliable option when you're unsure of the hatch.

Use as a Universal Searching Pattern: Fish the Chimera when no specific hatch is happening, as it imitates multiple insects. Let it drift naturally to mimic a range of food sources, ensuring you attract fish regardless of the dominant hatch.
