This fly works great in slow-moving waters. The leather strap gives it a natural wobble that fish respond to. I’ve seen several big trout take it on a stillwater pond.

The movement is impressive, especially when retrieved slowly. It’s a solid choice for reservoir fishing and feels durable after a few casts.

I used it on a small stillwater and caught a large brown trout. The straggle flash really stands out and draws fish in.
