A pattern from Gordon Van Der Spuy's book The Feather Mechanic, is a simple and quick damsel nymph that has lots of movement. Fish it slowly as a natural or with a faster jerky receive as an attractor, both work well.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
