Comparadun Dry Fly

Producer: McFly Angler

“Comparaduns are adult mayfly dry flies that do not use hackle, but achieve buoyancy with the use of a heavily stacked deer hair wing. Deer hair is hollow and therefore holds air inside each strand. So when tied onto flies, it increases its buoyancy. The way these are tied in, creating a fan wing, helps stabilize this fly in the water. This keeps it upright quite well—even better than some hackled dry flies.”
