Rio Grand King

Rio Grande King

A classic hair wing pattern known for its realistic profile and versatility, the Rio Grande King is an effective mayfly imitation that can be fished both dry and wet. Its natural hair wings create a lifelike silhouette and subtle movement that trout readily recognize in a wide range of water conditions.

When fished dry, the Rio Grande King imitates emerging mayflies struggling in the surface film. Fished wet, it can suggest drowned adults or transitional insects below the surface, making it a dependable searching pattern throughout the hatch cycle.
