I’ve used this nymph for several weeks on a local river. It’s very natural looking and triggers strikes even in slow currents. The flash pattern helps when the water is murky. A must-have in my fly box.
Robert Glover –
Works well in clear and slightly cloudy water. The tail movement mimics real nymphs. A bit heavy for very fast currents, but still effective.
Charles Miller –
Caught two trout in a single session using this pattern. The flashback effect is visible even at depth. Highly recommended for nymph fishing.
