☁️ EJ’s Sandbar Skimmer

The EJ’s Sandbar Skimmer is a high-floating, ultra-realistic dry fly designed to mimic the light, drifting insects that trout eagerly target along river edges and sandy shallows. Its tan foam body keeps it riding high on the surface film, while the printed transparent wings create a lifelike flash and silhouette that fish simply can’t ignore.

Built for durability and long drifts, the Sandbar Skimmer excels in calm pools, gentle currents, and low-water conditions where natural presentation matters most. The segmented foam construction gives this fly a buoyant, balanced posture, allowing it to skate, sit, or flutter depending on how you fish it.

Hand-tied with precision, this pattern brings together subtle realism and dependable flotation—making it a must-have dry fly whenever trout are sipping terrestrials or delicate winged insects off the top.

Perfect for: trout, panfish, and surface-feeding species
Best used in: calm rivers, sandbar edges, shallow pools
Style: high-floating terrestrial/dry fly with realistic printed wings
