Cream Comparadun (12-14)
Pale flush-riding dun
Trout · GraylingSurface
Cream-bodied Comparadun for the Golden Drake and other pale summer duns.
Fish this when
During a Golden Drake or other pale cream dun hatch on summer evenings, dead-drifted to fish sipping steadily in flat water.
Why it works
The deer-hair fan wing gives a low, no-hackle profile matching the natural's flush-riding posture, which matters more to selective fish than the exact shade of cream.
