The Smokejumper is an excellent fly pattern that can imitate various insects, but I mainly use it as a midge imitation. I have had many evenings on the water where it was the only fly the trout would take, making it a must-have in my fly box. This color variation of the Smokejumper works particularly well in the water I fish during the spring.
For me, the Smokejumper has proven to be an essential pattern in my fly box. Its ability to mimic midges has made it a go-to fly on many occasions, and I always make sure to have a few in my fly box. So if you’re looking for a reliable dry fly that can fool even the most finicky trout, give the Smokejumper a try - it might just become one of your favorite patterns too!
