This fly performs well in shallow flats. The delicate presentation with bead chain works perfectly for skinny water bonefish. The egg sack detail adds realism and catches attention from fish. Hand-tied quality is evident and consistent.
Trevor Jackson –
I’ve used this fly on several trips to the flats. It’s subtle and realistic, especially when fished slowly. The stalk eyes and antennae make it look authentic. Ray Rowland’s craftsmanship is clear in every detail.
Katherine Newman –
Good fly for permit fishing. The light weight allows it to float naturally. A bit more sensitive than other patterns, but effective when the water is still and fish are active.
