This fly performs well in clear streams. The two-tone coloration stands out without being flashy. I used it as a dead drift under an indicator and got a few trout strikes. The bead head keeps it in the right spot and the chenille catches light well in low visibility.

Good imitation of a leech in current. Works well on a slow retrieve. The thin mint colors blend naturally with the water. A bit heavy for small streams, but effective in deeper runs.

I caught a brown trout on this fly during a morning drift. The bead head helped it stay in the zone and the subtle flash worked in the shade. It’s a reliable pattern for early season fishing.
