Often, simply adding a touch of the adult color to nymphs makes a world of difference as you dead-drift or swing your flies through the riffles.

The best time to use these patterns is during or just before the hatches. Otherwise, the only time these nymphs are available in significant numbers as trout prey is when they are scoured from their burrows by high stream flows. Despite their different adult appearance, nymphs of the genera Ephemera, Litobrancha (green drake and yellow drakes), and Hexagenia (slate drake) are very similar and the suggested pattern will do well for all three.
