Used the Klinkhammer Dry Fly during a caddis hatch on a cold spring stream. The fly stayed just below the surface film and triggered multiple surface takes. The natural posture on the hook made it look realistic. A reliable choice for selective trout.

Felt the fly presented well with the high-floating hackle. It worked well during a midday mayfly hatch. A bit more float than I expected, but still effective for surface feeding trout.

This fly is exactly what I needed for a rising trout pattern. The curved hook and body profile made it look like a real insect emerging. I caught two fish within 20 minutes of starting.
