This fly worked great on a cold morning when trout were active. The double hook and heavy eyes helped it stay on the bottom and attract fish. I’ve used it in both clear and murky waters and saw consistent bites.
Jane Springer –
The Circus Peanut is a solid choice for trout fishing. It moves naturally in the water and the articulated design gives it a realistic wobble. A bit more expensive than basic streamers, but worth it for the performance.

I caught several trout using this fly in a slow-moving stream. The heavy eyes helped it sink fast and stay stable. It’s durable and the double hook increases the chance of a hook-up.
