The Perfect Fly Giant Dark Green Drake nymph is a trout fly that imitates the mayfly in the nymphal stage of life. Giant Dark Green Drake nymphs are burrowing nymphs. The come out of the burrows and crawl about on the bottom and should be fished on or near the bottom.
The Giant Dark Green Drake Spinners usually fall right when it starts to get dark and on
into the night. This is the same time the mayflies hatch. You may not know whether to fish
the Perfect Fly Giant Dark Green Drake Dun or Spinner. In some cases, in the low light
conditions, either one may well work. Trial and error is the only method to use to make
that decision.
Presentation:
You should concentrate on areas where the spinners may congregate, such as the tails
of pools or the calm eddies and edges of moving water. If you can find a feeding trout,
you should try to get into a position to present a fly to it of course. If not, present the
spinner imitation where you can best see the fly.
You may want to try fishing the spinner in the early morning before the sun rises. Large
brown trout can sometimes be found feeding on the spinners at this time.
