In this fly tying tutorial, Signature Tyer Jack Arnot teaches us how to tie one of his modern dry fly patterns: Arnot's New Age Silver Surfer. This is a fully synthetic dry fly that was inspired by the Spanish CDC split wing tying style he learned while fishing in Europe. Instead, though, it uses our Ultra Dry Yarn, and Ultra Dry Dubbing, to create an extremely buoyant and buggy dry fly. This pattern is excellent in a wide range of applications, but you will see it excel in fast, riffled water where other dry flies typically struggle to float. It's highly visible, takes floating really well, and floats for a long time. It also works great if you're fishing dry dropper techniques as it can suspend nymphs very well. This is a great searching pattern when trout aren't keyed in on a specific hatch. Originally, though, it was tied as a grey drake imitation so it excels when grey drakes are around.
