Isaac Short –
Used this in a cold winter stream and caught several trout. The black color blends well with the water and the small size made it hard for fish to detect. Great for when larger flies don’t work.
Donna Ogden –
Felt like a natural insect when fished. Worked well in a fast-moving tailwater. A small but effective addition to my winter fly box.
Ryan Forsyth –
Perfect match for the tiny midges I saw in the stream. Fish were actively biting after I started using this pattern. Highly recommend for winter fishing.
