DDD

The DDD (Duck’s Dun Dry) is a highly buoyant South African dry fly designed to imitate caddisflies, mayflies, terrestrials, and other surface insects. Its deer hair body, brown hackle tip wing, and subtle Pearl Krystal Flash create a natural yet highly visible profile, making it an outstanding all-round pattern for trout in both rivers and stillwaters.

Hook: Standard dry fly hook, sizes #10–#16

Materials:

• Thread: Black or brown
