This fly works perfectly on our local lake. Trout take it consistently during the spring hatch. The split tail and quill body look very natural and the action is smooth when fished.
Sean Glover –
I’ve used this pattern for several weeks now and it’s one of the most reliable flies for catching trout in still water. The imitation is spot-on and the fish respond immediately.
Anna Paige –
Good quality and matches the hatch well. A bit more delicate than other patterns, but it’s effective when fished correctly in calm conditions.
