Emily Piper –
This fly worked well during a morning trout hatch. The foam body and fluffy wing made it look natural, and fish took it right away. Great for imitating hoppers and beetles in the early season.
Austin Springer –
I used it during a dry period and saw several trout take the fly. The texture and movement are realistic, especially when fished slowly. A solid addition to my dry fly collection.
Richard Watson –
The Fat Frank is a reliable pattern for terrestrial insects. It floats well and stays visible on the surface. I’ve used it in both still and current conditions with good results.
