Madeleine Lyman –
This caddis emerger worked great on a slow-moving stream. The gray olive color matched the natural insects well and it attracted fish consistently. Easy to tie and reliable in the field.
Theresa Dickens –
Fished it during a morning drift and saw several strikes. The shuck addition makes a noticeable difference in how it floats and mimics real insects.
Leonard Powell –
Highly effective in both trout and smallmouth bass waters. The pattern holds well and doesn’t break easily. Tied in the USA as promised, and it feels like a solid, well-designed fly.
