Lunn's Particular

Pale May nymph dry

Trout · GraylingSurface

A solid river pattern. Imitates small olive dun; general upwing adult. Does what it says, no fuss. The sort of fly you tie on and get on with the day.

Fish this when

Fish it during early season and summer on river. Use it when the naturals are about and fish are feeding seriously. Have it ready for selective moments.

Why it works

Tying combines a nymph body (trout can see it sinking) with a dry-fly silhouette. It sits in the surface like a natural dun ready to emerge.
