Stacker Mosquito

The Stacker Mosquito, designed by RIO, is a unique pattern that blends the classic "hackle stacker" technique with the delicate features of a mosquito. This fly is ideal for imitating the large skeeters found in Alaska, the Upper Midwest, or Alpine lakes. By combining the technique used in spring creeks with a more realistic mosquito profile, the Stacker Mosquito is able to float delicately in the surface film while remaining highly visible to the angler

Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.

Use a Stealthy Cast: Since the fly is intended to imitate mosquitoes sitting on the water’s surface, a precise, gentle cast is key to avoid spooking fish. Use a roll cast or a light overhead cast to place the fly exactly where fish are feeding.
