This fly worked perfectly on a slow-moving stream. The foam body stayed afloat and attracted big trout to the surface. I used it as an indicator in a dropper rig and saw several strikes. Great for mimicking stoneflies.
Bella Payne –
The Peacock/White Wing pattern stands out in the water. It’s a solid choice for surface fishing. I’ve used it in both morning and afternoon casts and it holds up well in the wind.
Ruth Wright –
I caught a large trout on this fly during a cold front. The buoyancy helped it stay visible, and the profile drew fish in effectively. Highly recommended for surface feeding species.
