Western Green Drake
Nymphs: (Crawlers)
Green drake nymphs are the crawler type of nymph. They are usually found in the fast to
moderately fast water. Like most crawler nymphs, prior to emerging they migrate to the
calmer sections of the stream. This movement may only be a few feet, not a mile. It could
be pockets in pocket water streams or calmer areas along a bank.
Presentation:
If you are fishing the nymph in waters known for Western Green Drakes at times other
than during a hatch, then the nymphs should be presented right on the bottom. You
should add the appropriate amount of weight necessary to keep the fly on the bottom. If it
is prior to a hatch, meaning the nymphs are moving to places where they will hatch, you
should tend to fish the fly from the faster water into the slower or calmer water. These
flies can be fished with or without an indicator depending on the water and your personal
preference for nymph fishing.
