Description

The Evergreen Eastern Green Drake, an innovative take on the classic Green Drake pattern, was crafted to endure heavy use in springtime hatches. Its origins trace back to modern tyers combining traditional Eastern Green Drake designs with durable materials for longevity in turbulent water. The name "Evergreen" reflects its timelessness and effectiveness, making it a staple for anglers fishing in Eastern streams and rivers like the Susquehanna and Housatonic. With a lifelike silhouette and robust construction, the Evergreen Eastern Green Drake excels during peak dun hatches, enticing even the most selective trout in clear or heavily fished waters.

Pro Tip

Emerger Imitation Hack: Clip the underside of the hackle slightly to allow the fly to sit flush on the water's surface, mimicking an emerging dun. Trout often focus on these transitional stages, especially when duns are sparse.
