This fly performs well in fast currents. The tungsten bead gives it a strong sink, and the ribbed body holds up well in the water. I’ve used it as a dropper under a foam bug and it’s been effective in catching trout.

Good sink rate and looks realistic in the water. The barbless hook makes it easier to cast without tangles. Works well in riffles and runs.

I’ve used this nymph for several days on a fast-moving stream. It stays on the bottom and doesn’t float. The fine fiber tail adds natural movement and it’s easy to tie on.
