When
When to use it
Fish dry flies during active hatches when you see surface rises. Overcast days and the last two hours of light are prime windows.
Where
Where to fish it
Target flat-water seams, eddies behind boulders, and slow tail-outs where rising fish sip naturals off the surface film.
How
How to present it
Grease your tippet, false-cast away from the feeding lane, and present upstream with a reach cast for a drag-free drift. Mend early.
