Description
The True Wasp is a lifelike terrestrial fly pattern designed to mimic the slender, segmented body and bold coloration of a wasp. With a combination of foam and natural materials, this pattern achieves both a realistic silhouette and excellent floatation. Perfect for fishing during the warmer months when wasps are active, the True Wasp excels in streams, rivers, and still waters. Its distinct profile and vibrant appearance make it a favorite for targeting trout feeding on terrestrials.
Pro Tip
Mimic Struggling Movements: Add subtle twitches to the fly while it drifts to imitate the erratic struggles of a wasp trapped on the surface. This often triggers an instinctive strike from nearby trout.
