This fly worked perfectly on a slow-moving spring creek. The detail on the body and wing made trout take it even when they were refusing other patterns. A must-have for spring fishing.
Lucas McDonald –
I’ve used several Solitude patterns, and this one stands out. It’s subtle and realistic, especially when fishing during early morning hours when trout are more cautious.
Tracey Vaughan –
Fished it on a cold spring stream and got multiple strikes. The biot body and CDC wing combination is very lifelike and mimics a struggling mayfly well.
