Bella Forsyth –
Used this fly during a late summer trip and noticed fish took it consistently when they were ignoring standard caddis patterns. The black emerald color stood out well in the water and worked well in both calm and moderate current conditions.
Diana Hudson –
A solid addition to my fly box. The fly holds up well in the water and has a natural floating action. It’s especially useful when the hatch is light or fish are being picky.
Michelle Quinn –
Great for when the water is clear and fish are not biting on traditional patterns. The color stands out without being too flashy, and the elk hair gives a realistic profile.
