Used this fly on a clear mountain stream and caught a large brown trout. It moved naturally and the fish were quick to take it. A solid addition to my dry fly collection.

Fished it in the Appalachians and saw good action. The pattern looks authentic and works well in current. A bit more delicate than some others, but worth the effort.
