Klinkahmmer Olive Flexi Rib / White Foam Special Dry Trout Fishing Fly
- Fishing Techniques.
The Klinkahmmer Olive Flexi Rib / White Foam Special is best used in slow to medium-flowing rivers where trout are feeding on emerging insects. Present the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current, ensuring a drag-free presentation. Use a light tippet to enhance the fly's natural movement.
Employ a dead-drift technique, occasionally twitching the rod tip to mimic the struggling motion of an emerging insect. This can trigger strikes from wary trout. For best results, fish during hatches when trout are actively rising, and adjust your position to cast from different angles, covering various feeding lanes.
