Oliver MacDonald –
This caddis emergers worked perfectly on a calm lake morning. The CDC material stayed on the surface and attracted trout consistently. The color contrast made it stand out without looking artificial.
Nicola Hudson –
I used it in a slow-moving stream and saw several trout take the fly. The peacock and shucks details added realism. A solid choice for emerging insects.
Natalie Oliver –
The natural buoyancy kept the fly floating just right. I caught two fish within 15 minutes of casting. Highly recommended for surface patterns.
