Drake, Green

The Green Drake dry fly represents Ephemera guttulata, one of the largest and most famous mayflies in North America. It hatches in late spring or early summer and is known for its greenish-olive body and large, upright wings.

History:
The Green Drake hatch is a celebrated event in many rivers, especially in the East and West. The fly pattern mimics the size, color, and fluttering nature of the adult mayfly. Its origins date back to early American Catskill tiers and it continues to be a highlight of many anglers' seasons due to the aggressive strikes it draws.
