Sparkle Dun
Craig Mathews' Sparkle Dun combines a deer hair fan wing with a Z-lon trailing shuck, bridging the gap between emerger and dun. It imitates the critical moment when a mayfly breaks free of its nymphal case and sits on the surface, vulnerable and irresistible.

Fishing tips
Outstanding for selective fish that refuse standard dries. The trailing shuck is the trigger — trout key on emergers more than fully formed duns.
