Description
The Smoke Jumper, created by Charlie Craven is designed to capture the precise moment when these pupae find themselves trapped just below the water's surface film, making them irresistible prey for trout. The magic of the Smokejumper lies in its intricate wing pattern, crafted using CDC (Cul de Canard) feathers. This special touch not only adds buoyancy but also creates a remarkably realistic silhouette.
Pro Tip
Fish the Smoke Jumper as a single dry fly during a hatch, allowing it to drift naturally. Use a long leader and fine tippet (5x or 6x) to achieve a delicate presentation.
