This fly worked well in a cold water stream during a late spring trip. The beadhead helped it stay on the surface and it looked natural. Caught several trout on it.
Abigail Short –
Used it in a river with lots of cased caddis. The imitation was realistic and the fish reacted quickly. A solid choice for caddis-heavy waters.
Fiona Hart –
Fished it in the Smokey Mountains and saw good results. The pattern stayed natural and attracted fish even in slow current areas.
