Used the pink version in a muddy river and it attracted several steelhead. The action was natural and the fly stayed on the water well. Great for swinging.

Fished in clear water with the black version and saw good results. It mimics the natural look well and floats smoothly.

This fly is a favorite among my local spey fishing group. The color choice matches the water conditions perfectly and it’s easy to tie.
