The Simi Minnow is a great addition to my fly box. It looks natural and works well in the Bow River. I’ve caught several trout using it during early morning drifts. The craftsmanship is solid and it feels like a real baitfish in the water.

I tied it in a small lake and it responded well to both drift and cast. The collared profile makes it stand out in the current. It’s a bit smaller than expected, but that’s perfect for smaller trout.

Used it in a cold-water stream and caught a brown trout on the first try. The natural color matches the water well. It’s durable and holds up well in the wind.
