The UV Mirage Shad performs well in clear water conditions. I’ve used it on coho salmon runs and it attracted several strikes. The UV beads make it stand out, and the tapered tail helps with natural movement.

Good action when fished with a Coho Crusher flasher. The fly holds up well in cold streams and has a realistic profile. A bit heavy for some light water, but effective in deeper runs.

Fished during early morning on a river with steelhead. The fly responded well and led to a solid catch. The visibility from the UV elements helped in low light.
