Mosquito

The Mosquito Dry imitates adult mosquitoes resting on the surface film. Its slim body and gray hackle represent the fine legs and wings of the real insect, often taken by trout sipping in calm water.

History:
This pattern dates back to the early 20th century and was tied to match natural mosquitoes that hover over lakes and ponds. It gained popularity on stillwaters and has remained a useful summer pattern, especially in the Northeast, Midwest, and Canada.
