A famous Catskills dry fly pattern straight from Art Flick's Streamside Guide. The first mayfly to show up in the East is the Iron fraudator and is due out on my local streams in a week or so, once the water temps rise a few more degrees. Per Art, look for these guys mid April at around 1:30pm in the warmest part of the day.
