This fly has been a game-changer for my deep-water fishing. The tungsten eye drops fast and keeps the fish engaged. I’ve used it on both lakes and coastal areas and caught several Bluegill and small bass. The olive color blends well with the water and stands out when fish are active.

I tried it after reading about its success with Tiger Muskie. It worked well in a slow-moving river. The fly sank quickly and stayed on target. I caught a small muskie on the third cast. Highly recommended for anglers who need a fast-sinking pattern.

The fly performs well in saltwater conditions. The tungsten eye helps it reach deeper zones. I’ve used it on a tidal inlet and saw good results with bonefish. A bit heavy for light surface fishing, but perfect for deeper runs.
