Description
The Ice Drake, created by RIO Products as part of their premium fly collection, is a high-visibility and durable imitation of the Green Drake mayfly. Specifically designed for anglers fishing in challenging light conditions, the Ice Drake incorporates a reflective sheen in its materials, resembling the subtle shimmer of a natural Green Drake. It was developed to tackle scenarios where standard drake patterns fail to draw attention, such as glare-heavy waters or during low-light hours. This pattern excels in fast-flowing and slow-moving water alike, making it a versatile choice during Green Drake hatches on rivers like the Madison or Yellowstone.
Pro Tip
Nearshore Ripple Trick: Fish the Ice Drake close to shorelines with gentle ripples. The shimmer of the fly combined with its buoyancy creates an enticing appearance for trout lurking in shallow feeding lanes.
