Dirty Peanut – Copper

The Dirty Peanut – Copper is a refined foam Chernobyl-style dry fly built for serious surface action. Designed as a high-performance evolution of Dornan’s Circus Peanut, this pattern features a double foam body in natural copper tones, knotted rubber legs, and a durable silhouette that mimics stoneflies, hoppers, and large terrestrials. Its profile and movement are highly effective in drawing strikes from trout feeding along seams, banks, and riffles—especially during peak summer and fall terrestrial windows.

The copper coloration gives this fly a natural yet visible presence in clear water and sunny conditions, while the double foam design keeps it riding high all day. Built for floatation and abuse, the Dirty Peanut – Copper is perfect for rough pocket water or as the lead fly in a dry-dropper rig. Whether you’re fishing freestones or backcountry creeks, this fly performs with consistency and authority.
