Cool-day autumn comparadun
Trout · GraylingSurface
Reddish-brown autumn Comparadun for the Mahogany Dun — a cool-weather afternoon hatch.
Fish this when
Cool, overcast autumn afternoons when Mahogany Duns provide the last decent hatch of the day, often the only rises you'll see.
Why it works
The reddish-brown deer-hair wing and body match the naturals' noticeably darker tone, the main cue fish rely on once low autumn light strips out finer detail.
