Sonia Black –
This fly has been a game-changer in my grayling fishing. The UV purple body stands out in clear water and keeps the fish interested. I’ve used it in multiple streams and it consistently brings action.
Gavin Bower –
Great attractor for cutthroat trout in early spring. The bead head adds good weight and the pattern stays natural when fished slowly.
Una Kelly –
Fished in a cold, clear stream and saw several strikes. The color stands out without being flashy, which is perfect for natural presentations.
