Rio Grand King Trude

Stone Creek™ Rio Grande King – Trude

The Stone Creek™ Rio Grande King – Trude is a unique variation of a classic Western trout pattern, combining the proven fish-catching profile of the Rio Grande King with the buoyancy and visibility of a traditional Trude-style overwing. Designed for rough water and aggressive trout, this attractor dry fly excels in fast currents, riffles, pocket water, and freestone streams where flotation and visibility are essential.

The elevated Trude overwing helps the fly ride high on the surface while providing an easy-to-track silhouette for anglers. Combined with the realistic hair wing profile, the Rio Grande King – Trude effectively suggests emerging mayflies, drowned adults, caddisflies, and a variety of general attractor insects.

Whether used as a searching pattern or fished during active insect activity, this versatile fly consistently produces trout across a wide range of fishing conditions.
