Fished it in a quiet lake this morning and got a few strikes. The split wing design really stood out and the fish were quick to react. Easy to tie and works well in still water.
Molly Coleman –
A solid addition to my dry fly collection. The CDC wing floats well and the pattern mimics natural insects. Caught a brown trout on the surface after a light drift.

Perfect for early season fishing. The minimal design is subtle but effective. Fish were responsive even on calm days. Highly recommend for topwater fishing.
