This fly performs well in both swinging and dead drift situations. The copper wire gives it a natural sink and keeps it stable in the water. I’ve used it in clear streams and it’s been very effective.

Great for fishing in moderate current. The orange and copper color stands out and the soft hackle moves naturally. Works better than some similar patterns I’ve tried.

I’ve used this fly on several trout streams. It holds up well in the water and casts smoothly. The lower profile from the copper wire helps it stay in the right depth.
