How does the RS2 – Gray perform in selective fishing situations?
Its minimalist profile allows it to sit just below the surface film, making it effective at fooling highly selective trout during a hatch.
Is the RS2 – Gray suitable for use in still or moving water?
It is specifically designed for technical tailwaters, which typically involve moving water with strong currents and defined flow patterns.
Megan North –
Used the RS2 – Gray during a midge hatch in a tailwater stream. The fly stayed just below the surface film and triggered a strike from a wary brown trout. Very subtle and effective in selective conditions.
Mary Wilson –
Felt like a natural part of the water when casting. The gray color matched the natural drift well. Worked well during a small mayfly hatch in a fast-moving stream.
Lisa Wright –
This fly is perfect for when trout are picky. It didn’t float or sink too much, just hovered in the film. Got a solid rise after a few casts in the afternoon.
