The Katydid

The Katydid Wet Fly is a classic pattern featured in Ray Bergman's seminal 1938 book, Trout. Designed to imitate the vibrant green katydid insect, this fly has been a staple in anglers' collections for decades. Its bright green coloration and traditional wet fly construction make it particularly effective during late summer and early fall, when katydids are most active near water bodies. The Katydid Wet Fly's enduring presence in Bergman's collection underscores its effectiveness and timeless appeal. Photo courtesy of - Dressedirons.com Tied by - Ian Anderson
