Overview

The Mosquito Fly is a timeless dry fly pattern that has been fooling trout for generations. Its slim, segmented body and delicate hackle perfectly mimic the slender profile of natural mosquitoes and other small midges that hover over the water’s surface. This fly excels in stillwater situations, slow-moving streams, and spring creeks where trout often sip small insects with precision. The light, buoyant hackle keeps it riding high, while the tail and wings provide a realistic silhouette that triggers surface takes even from wary fish.

Available in a range of sizes, the Mosquito Fly is an excellent searching pattern during summer evenings when swarms of mosquitoes are present or as a subtle offering during midge hatches. Whether targeting wild trout in backcountry lakes or fishing under overhanging vegetation in gentle currents, the Mosquito Fly is a must-have for any angler’s dry fly selection.Read More +
