About the Grey Duster Trout Fly

A truly remarkable fly that was originally designed as a Stillwater midge imitation and has become a successful versitile pattern throughout the season on rivers, streams and lakes. This simple and uncomplicated fly seems to represent what the trout wants! No flyfisherman's flybox should be without a Grey Duster, weither on a river or stillwater.

Expert Tip:

There maybe occasions when a trout take the fly for sport or high spirits, jealousy, or curiosity, or some by-motive; but on these occasions it may be taken for granted that the temptation is scarce and that hunger is in abeyance. G E M Skues ( The Way of the Trout with a Fly) 1921
