This fly performs well in deep water conditions. It sinks quickly and stays on the bottom without floating. I’ve used it on both nymph rigs and as a dropper under dry flies. The color pattern is very visible in clear water and fish are consistently taking it.
Rachel Welch –
Good sinking action and durable construction. Works well in cold streams. A bit heavy for very shallow water, but perfect for deeper sections of rivers.
Amanda Lewis –
I’ve tried several nymph flies and this one stands out for its consistency. It holds up well in windy conditions and stays on the bottom where fish are active.
