Paul Paige –
Used the size 4 for dusk fishing on Bow River. The fly floats well and the hot butt stands out in the water. Caught several brown trout. Very effective in low light.
Alan Clark –
Fished with size 2 on a steelhead run. The tail held up well and the light reflection helped attract fish. A solid choice for larger species.

The deer hair and foam combination gives a natural float. The pearl tail lasts longer than expected and doesn’t fray easily. Great for evening trips.
