Mosquito Dry

The Mosquito Dry, crafted by Umpqua, is a delicate and highly effective dry fly pattern designed to imitate the adult mosquito skimming or resting on the water's surface. Mosquitoes are a common food source for a wide range of freshwater species, particularly in the summer months when they are most active. The Mosquito Dry is specifically designed to replicate the slender body and subtle movement of the adult mosquito, with a buoyant design that allows it to sit perfectly on the surface, even in turbulent water.

Use Short, Soft Twitches: To mimic the subtle movements of a mosquito on the water, use short, soft twitches when retrieving the fly. Avoid fast retrieves—mosquitoes move slowly and delicately on the surface, so gentle twitches or pauses will trigger more strikes.
