Lucas Dowd –
Used this fly during a morning trout session on a clear lake. The olive color matched the natural hatch perfectly. It stayed on the surface and triggered several rises. A reliable choice for hatch-matching.
Bernadette Short –
Felt like a natural mayfly when cast. Trout reacted well, especially during the early morning hours. Slight drag on the line, but overall effective in moderate current.
Warren James –
Great for imitating mayfly duns in spring when the water is calm. The fly stayed on the surface and attracted multiple strikes. Easy to tie and works well with a standard dry fly rod.
