Poxyback Green Drake

The Poxyback Green Drake is a nymph pattern designed to imitate the large, meaty nymph stage of the Green Drake mayfly. This fly is named for its epoxy-coated back, which adds durability and a realistic sheen that mimics the natural insect's carapace. The Poxyback Green Drake is most effective when drifted near the bottom, where these nymphs are most active before hatching

Use it as the lead fly in a tandem nymph rig, pairing it with a smaller mayfly emerger or midge to cover multiple feeding stages.
