This fly performs well in clear streams. The red hot spots stand out and attract trout even in low light. The floss legs give a natural movement that makes it hard to miss in the water.

Great for targeting trout in the upper water. The tungsten head keeps it stable and the legs move naturally. I’ve used it with a hopper and seen consistent strikes.
Andrea Mackenzie –
The Black Widow variant is very visible and effective. I caught several trout in a coldwater stream using this pattern under a hopper. It’s durable and the hook is easy to remove.

Solid construction and realistic action. Works well in both still and moving water. A bit heavy, but that’s what makes it effective in the top layers.
