Harry Paterson –
I’ve used this fly on several trout streams and it caught a big brook trout right off the first cast. The imitation of small fish is very realistic and the action in the water is natural.
Madeleine Hemmings –
Worked well in a local lake with bass. The pattern stayed on the line and didn’t break apart, which is a plus for longer casts.
Una Hart –
Caught a steelhead on this fly during a late spring trip. The design matches the natural prey well and the fish reacted immediately.
