An elk-hair variation fine-tuned for California's legendary Hot Creek. Sparse, low-riding, and designed for the educated trout that have seen every fly in the book.

The universal dry fly in its parachute configuration. The white post is visible to anglers while the low-riding body sits in the film where trout expect insects to be.

Randall Kaufmann's versatile attractor dry fly that suggests stoneflies, caddis, and hoppers. The buoyant body and oversized hackle float it through heavy water where selective fish become aggressive.
