Madeleine Carr –
This fly performs well in lake conditions. I used it during a callibaetis hatch and caught several trout. It’s a solid choice for searching patterns and mimics the nymphs naturally.
Dorothy Chapman –
Felt like a natural match for the nymphs in a stillwater lake. It worked well during a mid-season hatch and helped me get a few good strikes.
Colin Young –
Great for targeting dragonfly and damselfly nymphs too. The action and profile match the real insects well. I’ve used it on multiple lakes and it’s consistently productive.
