AUSABLE WULFF
$2.18
Ausable Wulff features white calf tail wings, bushy hackle, and a rusty-orange body. A high-floating dry fly designed for trout in fast and rough water.
Description
The Ausable Wulff is a classic dry fly developed by Fran Betters on the Ausable River in New York’s Adirondacks. Built for fast, broken water, it combines durability, buoyancy, and visibility—qualities that make it a reliable searching pattern for trout. Its signature rusty-orange body and bushy hackle provide a bold silhouette, while white calf tail wings keep it visible to anglers in heavy currents.
The fly’s hair wings and tail ensure it rides high on the surface, even in turbulent riffles and pocket water. The bright body color imitates a range of insects, from mayflies to terrestrials, and also functions as an attractor pattern when trout are opportunistic. Known for its toughness, the Ausable Wulff can withstand multiple fish and aggressive strikes without losing shape.
The Ausable Wulff shines during early summer when searching patterns are essential, but it remains effective throughout the season as both a hatch imitator and prospecting fly. Whether used on its home river or anywhere trout live in fast water, this pattern is a proven favorite for anglers looking for a buoyant, highly visible dry fly.
