Mercer’s Missing Link Dry Fly

A versatile dry fly that gives trout an impression of several different food sources. Mercer’s Missing Link is an excellent choice for fishing prospectively or matching an active hatch, especially when trout are selective.

Description

Mercer’s Missing Link is a highly versatile dry fly that can suggest a variety of insects and vulnerable stages of emerging or hatching insects. Its adaptable profile makes it useful when you see trout feeding but aren't sure exactly what they are taking.

This pattern floats well and is easy to see on the water, making it a practical choice for covering water, searching for rising fish, or fishing during an active hatch.

The Missing Link is particularly useful when trout are feeding selectively. Its suggestive profile can provide a different look from more traditional dry flies and give wary fish a reason to commit.

How to Fish It

Fish Mercer’s Missing Link as a searching dry fly when prospecting likely water, or use it when trout are rising during a hatch. Present it with a natural drift and allow the fly to ride freely through the feeding zone.
