Austin Mills –
This pattern worked well in a Great Lakes stream during early spring. The bright thorax caught the steelhead’s attention, and it stayed on the hook during a swing cast. A reliable choice for stonefly imitations.
Audrey Wilkins –
Used it in a trout stream and saw several strikes. The versatility between swing and nymphing made it easy to adapt to different conditions. Slightly less effective in heavy rain, but still a solid option.
Blake Bond –
Fished it in a cold water run and got consistent bites. The design closely matches natural stoneflies, and the bright thorax really stands out in the current.
