Size 6. Great foam fly that sits down in the water better than most flies. The Fat Albert is a large foam dry fly built for visibility, buoyancy, and attraction. It rides lower tha n many foam patterns, giving it a more convincing footprint while still floating well enough for broken water. This pattern can suggest a stonefly, hopper, or general large terrestrial depending on the water and season. It is useful along banks, riffles, pocket water, fast seams, and places where trout are willing to look up for a larger meal. Fish it as a searching dry, against grassy banks, or as the top fly in a dry dropper rig. It is a strong option when you need a visible foam pattern that can hold up in rougher water. Show more
