Samantha Wilson –
Felt solid in the water and worked well in a fast riffle. The bead head helped it stay down and it attracted trout consistently. Good choice for dry fly days when I need a heavier nymph.
Jason Terry –
Used it during a late spring trip and saw several strikes. The weight and profile matched the current well. A reliable addition to my nymph box.
Paul Ball –
Perfect for when the water is moving fast. The Ditch Parrot stayed on the bottom and didn’t float. Trout were actively feeding on it.
