Description
The Drag Queen is a versatile anchor fly designed to sink quickly, making it suitable for various setups such as Euro rigs or under indicators. Its bead ensures rapid descent, allowing you to slow down your sighter and point fly effectively. As a searching pattern, it instills confidence and serves as an attractor when covering water to provoke strikes. Hook size 12-14.
Pro Tip
Use the Drag Queen as the anchor fly in a two-fly rig to get your smaller, more subtle flies down quickly. Focus on deep runs and turbulent water where other patterns might struggle to sink effectively.
