WD 40

Fly Description

The WD-40 is a legendary, ultra-simple emerger fly pattern created in 1982 by Colorado guide Mark Engler. Designed specifically for the finicky trout of the Fryingpan River, it flawlessly mimics a hatching midge pupa or a Baetis (Blue-Winged Olive) mayfly nymph transitioning into a dun.
