This fly caught several trout in a new river. The flash from the pearl and dubbing stood out in the current. Easy to tie and works well in early morning when the water is still.
Madeleine Dyer –
Used it on a stocked lake and saw a few bites. The silver bead helped it stand out, especially in low light. A bit more flashy than I expected, but effective.

Great for searching in fast water. The peacock dubbing moves naturally and draws fish in. I’ve used it on multiple rivers and it consistently performs.
