Rainy's Dead Duck

Rainy's Dead Duck is a highly effective and creative fly pattern designed to mimic a distressed duck on the water’s surface. Created by Rainysflies.com, this fly is intended to simulate a baby or injured duck that has fallen into the water, attracting predatory fish like bass, pike, and even larger species like muskie. The Dead Duck features a realistic profile with soft feathers and a carefully designed body that allows it to float naturally on the water.

Use in Shallow Waters with Cover: The Dead Duck is most effective in shallow water, especially near cover like reed beds, lily pads, or other structures where predatory fish often wait to ambush prey. Cast the fly near these areas and strip it through the surface, allowing the fly to drift naturally while creating subtle disturbances.
