This fly performs well in both still and moving water. The slim profile allows it to move naturally through the current. I’ve used it successfully in a lake during early morning when midges are active. The beadhead adds good weight without making the fly too bulky.

It’s a solid choice for small insects. The body shape matches the natural look of a midge nymph. I caught a few fish with it during a late afternoon drift in a river. The beadhead stays in place well.

Great detail and realistic profile. Works well in both still and flowing water. I’ve used it for trico imitations and had good results. The tungsten bead gives it a natural sink rate.
