This fly performs great in slow currents. The subtle flash matches the natural bugs well and it’s easy to tie on. I’ve used it in several tailwater sections and caught several trout with it.
Charles Miller –
The thin body and beadhead make it look realistic. It’s a bit delicate, so I handle it carefully. Works well in early morning when the bugs are active.
Grace Pullman –
I’ve fished this pattern in both spring and fall. It’s one of the most natural-looking nymphs I’ve used. The wire rib adds a slight texture that helps with presentation.
