Madam X - Lime

The Lime Madam X is a vibrant and versatile attractor pattern that is a standout choice for any angler’s fly box. Known for its eye-catching lime green body and enticing movement, this fly is highly effective for imitating a range of terrestrial insects, including hoppers, cicadas, and stoneflies. It's particularly successful in attracting trout but also works well for bass and panfish.

Crafted with a striking lime green body, deer hair wing, and lively rubber legs, the Lime Madam X is designed to grab the attention of fish in various water conditions. The bright lime color enhances visibility, making it an excellent choice for fishing in murky or fast-moving waters.

To use the Lime Madam X, present it as a dry fly. Cast it near banks or under overhanging vegetation where terrestrial insects are likely to fall into the water. Allow the fly to drift naturally with the current for the most effective presentation. This pattern excels with a dead drift, but adding occasional twitches can mimic the movements of a struggling insect and provoke strikes from nearby fish.

The Lime Madam X is particularly effective from spring through fall when terrestrial insect activity is high. Its bright color ensures it remains visible to fish even in challenging conditions. Applying floatant to the fly helps maintain its buoyancy, especially in rough or fast water.
