This pattern worked well in thick weeds where other flies didn’t catch anything. The brass head kept it from getting snagged and the barbless design made it easy to retrieve. Used it on a Di3 line and saw several fish take it.
Diane Mills –
Felt like a solid choice for weed-heavy sections. It stayed on the line better than typical mayfly patterns. A bit heavier than expected, but effective when the fish were hiding in reeds.
William Ellison –
Caught a large trout in a weedy pool using this pattern. The bead head helped it move naturally through the vegetation. No tangles, and fish took it consistently.
