Description

The White Wulff Dry Fly, originally designed by the legendary Lee Wulff, was created as a high-floating, highly visible pattern for turbulent water conditions. Lee Wulff introduced this pattern as part of his series of "Wulff-style" flies in the mid-20th century, aiming to provide durable, buoyant alternatives to traditional Catskill-style dries. The White Wulff, with its bright white wings and sturdy construction, is particularly effective for imitating pale mayflies or general attractor patterns in fast-moving water. Its ability to float high and remain visible in various light conditions has made it a favorite among anglers targeting trout in freestone rivers and streams.

Pro Tip

High Contrast Strategy: During overcast days or evening light, the bright white wings act as a visibility aid for both the angler and the fish. Cast into shaded areas or near submerged logs where the contrast can entice a strike from hiding trout.
