This fly works well in early morning fishing. I used it as an egg pattern and saw several trout take it off the water. The beadhead design keeps it floating naturally and it’s easy to tie on.

Good for imitating caddis pupae. It floats well and stays on the surface. I caught a few fish on it during a calm afternoon on a still lake.
