Description
Dunnigan's Green Drake Nymph, crafted by fly tier Mike Dunnigan, is a realistic imitation of the Green Drake nymph, a large mayfly prevalent in Western rivers. This pattern effectively mimics the nymph's robust body and prominent legs, making it particularly effective during pre-hatch periods when trout are actively feeding on these sizable insects.
Pro Tip
Use as your bottom fly on a tandem set up with the Soft hackle above it.
