Sean Martin –
Used this fly during a late summer trip on a wooded creek. The ant-like appearance and natural movement made trout take it easily. Great for when ants are active and the water is still.
Anthony Powell –
Felt very realistic with the rubber legs and antennae. Worked well in a riffle area where trout were feeding on the surface. Would recommend for late fall patterns.
Frank Morrison –
This fly caught several trout on a quiet morning. The floating action and realistic look stood out in the current. Perfect for creeks with tree cover.
