Audrey King –
Used this in a stream with strong current and it stayed natural-looking. Trout took it immediately, even in fast water. The gray color blends well with the surroundings and the CDC material gives a great wobble.
James Davidson –
Felt like a real midge when fished. Worked well in a slow-moving section of the river. The presentation was smooth and the fish reacted quickly.
Cameron Edmunds –
Great detail in the material. The gray shade matches the natural insects well. I’ve used it in several trout streams and it’s one of the most effective patterns I’ve tried.
