Among the largest moving water mayfly species in the western US, the Green Drake dwarfs other mayfly species when it emerges each summer. Due to the size of its wings and the time needed to stretch and dry them during their emergence, the Green Drake spends a long time on the water before it can take off and find refuge in the streamside vegetation. Dry emerger patterns such as the Green Drake Sparkle Dun can therefore offer anglers some of the best action during this epic hatch!
