Any dry fly will attract fish if it is swung across the current at the
end of a drift creating a wake. Harry Mason's Killer Caddis works
extremely well with this approach as does a Goddard Caddis or a
Stimulator. Brook trout, landlocked salmon, dolly varden, et al love
a dry fly swung across the current. While retrieving, dipping the fly
below the surface and letting it pop to the surface will also attract
hits.

Thanks for the info, Dave. I'll put those on my list.

I was out of the FF loop for most of this summer for various reasons, but am
back on the bank. No waders, yet, but can still reach a lot of aquastate.
Having spotty luck. Caught one, but flipped out of hand. One rose to fly,
but didn't hook. Maybe better luck today. My casting is getting better, no
wind knots yesterday.

I'm beginning to actually enjoy FF, though I still suck at it. My recent
acquisition of clip-on magnifiers has improved all aspects exponentially.
