Michelle Bailey –
This fly worked well during a Mayfly hatch on a clear stream. The tungsten bead kept it down and natural-looking. Caught several trout with it in a single session.
Stewart Kerr –
Good for heavy hatches. The weight helps it sink properly and stay in place. A reliable pattern when Mayflies are active.
Rebecca Turner –
Used it during a spring hatch and saw consistent strikes. The design mimics the natural tail movement well and stays stable in the water.
