Green Drake Extended Body

The Green Drake Extended Body fly pattern is a must have during the later part of May through mid-June. Tailored to the natural green drake during its peak activity, this pattern is particularly effective in sizes 8 to 10. Boasting an extended body, this fly provides a remarkably realistic imitation of a large mayfly. As green drakes become a prominent feature on the water, the extended body dun proves its worth thru durability and buoyancy.

Target Subtle Feeders: If trout are not visibly rising, fish this fly as an emerger by applying floatant only to the wings and hackle. This allows the fly to sit low in the film, mimicking a struggling mayfly—a presentation trout often find irresistible.
