Fished this fly during a quiet morning on a slow-moving lake. Trout took it immediately. The pattern holds up well in water and doesn’t break easily. Much more reliable than the Mikulak version I tried before.
Victoria Slater –
Good for stillwater trout. It’s a bit simpler to tie than the classic, and the action when it floats is natural. I caught a few fish on it during a midday hatch.
Simon Bell –
This fly performs well in calm waters. The color and shape match the real caddis well. I’ve used it in several lakes and it’s consistently effective.
