Fished in coastal streams and caught several coho salmon with the UV Bloody Shad. The UV beads stand out in the water and the fly moves naturally. Works well with the Coho Crusher flasher for added action.
Sue Wilson –
Good quality construction. The fly holds up well in cold water and has a realistic profile. A bit heavy for small streams, but effective in larger runs.

Used it during a steelhead season and had success with multiple strikes. The tapered tail and beads help it stay visible and natural in the current.
