The Ethafoam Floating Fry is a superb, buoyant baitfish imitation for trout feeding on fry near the surface. Its foam body keeps the pattern high, allowing it to suggest a vulnerable or injured small fish struggling in the film.
Fish it around fry concentrations, weed beds and margins. Use short pulls followed by pauses, or suspend it above a sinking line on a short leader so the foam lifts the fly away from the bottom. Its balanced profile gives it the appeal to turn interest into a solid take.
