About the Colorado Green Drake Trout Fly

The Colorado Green Drake has interesting fan wings that give it a superb silhouette.

This fly pattern masterfully imitates Drunella grandis—one of the largest and most eagerly anticipated mayfly hatches in high-altitude streams and rivers. Designed to ride high and proud on fast-moving water, its vibrant green body and upright wings perfectly capture the fluttering motion of the natural dun.

This is an essential dry fly for any serious Western fly angler—ideal when the trout are keyed in on those big, clumsy duns bouncing downstream. Don't hit the high country without a few in your fly box!
