This fly performs well in clear streams. The natural profile helps it move realistically, and I’ve caught several trout using it in spring creeks. Easy to tie and durable in the water.
Bernadette James –
Great imitation of mayfly nymphs. Works well in fast-moving water. A bit delicate in strong currents, but overall effective for trout in rivers.

Used it during a trip to a technical creek and had success with wary trout. The slim design allows it to sink naturally and stay in place without spooking fish.
