FAQ

This fly works great on a quiet lake with damsel hatches. The foam back keeps it floating just right, and the barbless hook makes it easy to remove when it lands. I’ve used it as a single fly and at the top dropper—both times with good results.

Fished it on a lake with a known damsel hatch and saw several strikes. The slow sink rate matches the natural behavior of the nymph. The barbless design is a plus for catching and releasing fish.

Perfect for floaters. The foam back gives it a natural drift and it doesn’t sink too fast. I tied it myself and found it easy to assemble. Works well in stillwater conditions.
