The Umpqua Antonio's Adult in Size 17 is designed to match medium-sized mayflies such as Pale Morning Duns (PMDs) and Blue-Winged Olives (BWOs), offering anglers a precise and effective dry fly during prolific hatches. The CDC split wing allows the fly to float high and stay visible, while also replicating the delicate posture of an adult mayfly. A body crafted from squirrel dubbing provides just the right amount of translucency and texture to trigger strikes from selective trout. Combined with a CDL tail, the fly creates a balanced silhouette that lands softly and drifts naturally across the surface. This size excels in moderate currents and slightly riffled water where a subtle but visible pattern is key to drawing strikes. Whether you're targeting wild trout in a freestone stream or picky risers in a spring creek, the Size 17 Antonio's Adult gives you the realism and presentation needed to succeed. This fly is an excellent choice when matching medium mayfly hatches in a variety of lighting and flow conditions.
