FAQ
What makes the Micro Larva effective in skinny water?
Its small size and natural appearance allow it to blend well in tight, shallow sections of rivers, where it mimics real larval insects that fish feed on.
Can the Micro Larva be used in winter fishing?
Yes, it performs well in winter when used as a dropper with a streamer on the point, attracting fish that are active in cold conditions.
Is it suitable for all types of rivers?
It is especially effective in rivers like the San Juan, but works well in similar environments with clear, flowing water.

Fished it in skinny water on the San Juan this spring and caught several trout. The small size and natural movement made a big difference. Works well as a dropper in winter too.
Nathan Paterson –
Used it during a cold spell in early winter with a streamer on the point. Got good bites, especially in the morning when the water was still. Not as effective in very deep pools.

Great year-round pattern. I’ve used it in multiple rivers and it consistently performs well in tight sections. Very natural look and feels like real larvae.
