Missing Link

The Missing Link is a highly effective searching pattern developed by Mike Mercer to imitate a wide range of emerging and adult aquatic insects. Combining the low-floating profile of an emerger with the visibility of a traditional dry fly, it has earned a reputation as a dependable choice when trout are feeding selectively and no obvious hatch is taking place. Its realistic silhouette and subtle footprint make it equally effective during mayfly and caddis activity. 

Every Fly from HatchLab FlyWorks is tied using carefully selected premium materials and individually inspected for Consistency, Durability, and Performance on the water.

Lab Crafted. River Tested.
