Fished it during a deep run in the river and caught a good number of trout. The barbless design made it easy to remove the fish without damaging the hook. Works well in still water conditions.
Dorothy Dowd –
A solid addition to my fly box. The pupa pattern matches what I see in the river, and it’s easy to tie. I used it in a slow current and had good results.

Perfect for targeting fish that feed on pupae. The fly looks natural and floats well. No issues with snagging or hooking during retrieval.
