Used this fly during a winter trip on a reservoir and saw several trout take it. The bright color stood out in the murky water and the retrieve worked well. Great for when fish are active during spawning.
Warren Bond –
Fished it in a small stillwater and caught a few trout. The pattern moved naturally and attracted fish that were otherwise not biting. A solid choice for winter conditions.
