Emily Piper –
Fished successfully during a strong hatch on the Connecticut River. The fly imitated the natural hatch well and attracted fish consistently. Easy to tie and matches the local conditions perfectly.
Penelope Gill –
Worked well in a searching pattern during a dry fly session. Caught a few fish on the Hudson River. A reliable option when the green salmonfly is not available.
Diane Berry –
Used it during a spring hatch in New Jersey. The action and color matched the natural insects exactly. Fish took it immediately and stayed on the water longer than expected.
