mountain creek flies

SOME HAYSTACK/ Comparadun style dry flies for fast paced freestone water. I’ve been fishing these on mountain Cutthroat streams. It’s a simple deer hair pattern where attention is paid to basic shape/form but not the smaller details of a Mayfly. They make a significant (noticeable) and enticing impression on the water’s surface. I cast them to opportunistic fish on the feed when Mayflies are present and prospect with them in likely lies where they often “pull-up” trout. I fished them as a child and teenager on pretty little freestone streams in upstate New York. They caught trout then and they do now.
