Nancy’s Prayer

This fly was developed for use on Maine’s West Branch of the Penobscot River. I first encountered the fly on http://www.flyfishinginmaine.com.

This fly can be fished dry, wet, or both. Start by fishing it dry on a dead drift and then fish it skittered across the top a bit and finally stripped back under water. I’ve caught fish on all three stages.

Anytime you see caddis on the water this fly has an excellent chance of catching fish!
