This fly worked well in a fast-moving river where large fish were feeding on the surface. The large profile stood out and attracted attention from pike. The no-wrap tail stayed in the water better than other topwater flies I’ve tried. Great for targeting big predators in open water.
Caroline Lawrence –
Used it during a morning cast in a reservoir with golden dorado. The fly stayed in the water and triggered a strike. It’s a bit heavy, but that’s expected for a topwater pattern meant for large fish. Would recommend for anglers targeting big surface feeders.

The design by Ken Morrish is evident in the action and presentation. I caught a peacock bass with this fly on a windy day. The no-wrap tail kept it stable and the profile was noticeable even from a distance.
