This fly has proven reliable in cold and slow-moving streams. The tungsten head keeps it weighted properly and it consistently triggers strikes. Easy to tie and lasts longer than similar patterns I’ve tried.

Great for targeting trout in clear water. It sinks steadily and doesn’t float like some other patterns. A bit heavy for very shallow areas, but overall very effective.

I’ve used this fly in multiple fishing trips across different rivers. It holds up well after repeated use and performs consistently in both early morning and late afternoon.
