Richard Thomson –
Used this fly on a trout stream in the South Island. The pattern stayed low and attracted fish that were otherwise ignoring other flies. Very visible and effective in the current.
Brandon James –
Felt like a natural match for the water conditions. Trout took it on the first cast. Good for beginners and experienced anglers alike.
Emily Baker –
Perfect for cold water streams. The profile is clear and the fly doesn’t float. Caught two fish in a row with it during a morning session.
