Fished this fly on the Bow River in early spring and it caught several trout. The foam wing made it look natural and it stayed on the water well. Great for early season when other flies don’t work.
Yvonne Ross –
The Skwalla color matches the stoneflies I saw in the stream. It’s light and floats well. A solid choice for early season dry fly fishing.
Deirdre Miller –
Will Dornan’s design is proven effective. I’ve used it in multiple rivers and it consistently draws fish. The foam wing gives it a realistic profile.
Jane Davies –
It’s a simple fly but works well in clear, fast-moving water. I caught a few fish on it during a cold spring morning. Worth the try for early season anglers.
