Chloe Manning –
Used this fly during a winter trip on a cold tailwater stream. The gray color matched the natural insects perfectly. My trout took it immediately, even when they were ignoring larger flies. A reliable pattern for cold water conditions.
Melanie Cameron –
Felt like a natural insect when fished. Worked well in low-light conditions. A bit delicate, but worth it for selective trout in winter.
Sally Terry –
Great match for gray-colored insects in winter. The profile is very realistic and the fish reacted quickly. I’ve used it in several tailwater spots and it consistently performs well.
