Austin Knox –
Used this fly on a cold morning in a mountain stream. The imitation was very natural and the trout reacted immediately. It worked well in both current and stillwater sections.
Jason Nash –
Felt like a real nymph when fished. Caught a few fish on a slow-moving river. The hook holds well and the body doesn’t fray easily.
Karen Rees –
Excellent for targeting trout below the surface. The flash pattern mimics the natural emergence and attracted fish in a deep pool.
