Benjamin Simpson –
This fly performs well in both fast and slow currents. The black color blends naturally with the riverbed, and the movement mimics real insects. I’ve used it on several trout streams and caught several fish with it.
Joe MacLeod –
A solid choice for nymphing. It holds up well in water and doesn’t break easily. The texture feels authentic and it’s easy to tie on a leader. Works best when fished slowly.
Phil Welch –
Great for targeting trout in deep pools. The jig action keeps it from sinking too fast and it stays visible to fish. I’ve used it in both spring and fall and it’s consistently effective.
