The Green Drake Missing Link flies perform well in both still and moving water. The olive-green body and segmented abdomen look very natural. I’ve used them during several hatches and caught several trout with them. The fly floats well and doesn’t sink quickly.

Great imitation of the Green Drake mayfly. The Z-lon wing gives it a realistic wing profile. I tied a few myself and found the elk hair adds a good amount of weight and balance. Works well in clear streams.

This fly is a solid choice for dry fly fishing. The low profile helps it sit naturally on the water surface. I’ve used it during a recent hatch and it was very visible and effective.
