- Mercer's Olive Missing Link: Created by California tier Mike Mercer, the Missing Link is a versatile low-profile dry fly known for its effectiveness during insect hatches with a realistic film-sitting design
- Effective Olive Caddis & BWO Imitation: Accurately imitates adult and crippled olive caddisflies as well as Blue Winged Olives (BWO) with the correct olive body color, segmented abdomen, and natural wing profile
- Premium Low-Profile Construction: Superior flotation in the surface film, durable body materials, and subtle hackle for lifelike movement and natural drift
- Versatile Searching & Hatch-Matching Fly: Excels as a great searching pattern as well as during caddis and BWO hatches from spring through fall; highly effective for brown, rainbow, brook, and cutthroat trout
- Practical Technical Dry Fly: A reliable pattern that performs well when trout are selectively feeding on caddis or Blue Winged Olives; often more effective than traditional high-floating dries in technical, clear water conditions
