Description
The Loop Wing Mayfly is a dry fly pattern designed to imitate the adult stage of mayflies, commonly known as Duns. Its distinct feature is the upright, looped wing that perfectly mimics the natural posture of a mayfly resting on the water's surface, drying its wings before taking flight. This design enhances floatation and realism, making it a popular choice for finicky trout during mayfly hatches. This pattern was developed by Al Caucci and Bob Nastasi, two influential fly designers known for their contributions to realistic dry fly patterns.
