This fly works great in the cold streams near my cabin. The beadhead helps it sink fast, and it looks very realistic. I caught a few trout using it during a late spring trip.
Blake Oliver –
The pattern matches the hellgrammite larva well. It sinks quickly thanks to the beadhead, which is a big plus. A bit more expensive than other flies, but worth it for the performance.

Used it in a remote river and saw several fish take it. The design is accurate and the beadhead ensures it reaches the bottom without floating.
