Brown Drake

A classic mayfly pattern imitating large adult drakes with a natural profile and durable construction. Perfect for enticing trout during drake hatches, this fly rides high and drifts naturally, making it a go-to for rivers and streams in late spring and early summer. 

How to fish it: Drift it naturally over riffles, seams, and pools where trout are rising. Can be fished solo or as part of a dry-dropper setup for added versatility. 

Best for: Trout feeding on adult brown drakes in medium to large rivers and streams. Ideal during peak hatch times when trout are actively looking up. 

Why we love it: Big, natural, and reliable - it's a proven fly for getting explosive surface strikes during drake season.
