I’ve used this fly on several calm rivers and it consistently draws strikes from trout. The movement is realistic and the olive color matches the water well. Great for when fish are cruising.
Jacob Morgan –
It works well in stillwater conditions. I noticed fish reacting to it even when the water was quiet. The action is smooth and natural.
