Sam Ball –
This fly worked beautifully during a morning drift on a slow-moving stream. The color matched the natural pupae perfectly and my trout took it immediately. A solid imitation for caddis emergence.
Heather Hughes –
I’ve used several pupa patterns, but this one stands out for its natural look and action. It’s especially effective when drifting just below the surface during early morning.
Edward Greene –
Caught two fish in a single cast using this pattern. The barbless design made it easy to retrieve and the build feels true to the original Gary LaFonatine design.
