This fly worked great in a quiet lake during early morning. The way it moved in the water made the trout take it aggressively. I’ve used it in several different spots and it consistently gets bites.
Bernadette Randall –
Felt like a natural leech in the water. Used it in a slow-moving river and saw several fish chase it. A bit more delicate than I expected, but that’s probably because of the subtle movement.

Great for searching water. The olive color blends well with the environment and the swimming action triggers takes even when the fish aren’t actively feeding.
