When you fish it I recommend to be used with French Nymphing technique on small and medium rivers. Early in morning or late in the day is the most productive. Take in consideration when small dun flies are start hatching and you can switch on short nymphing or long nymphing style combined with a spider or with an emerger. Also can be combined with New Zealand nymphing technique ( nymph as point fly and on a dropper a big floating sedge or parachute for visibility )
This brown colored version is particularly effective on rivers with acid waters . The main reddish color water is where you will find this dark colored baetis. Also the fly being so simple tied can be considered a searching pattern when we talk about “micro ephemera”insects like heptagenidae flies .
Is not a fantastic fly from the beauty point of view, is not complicated, is only a simple but extremely efficient nymph!
