Fished it on a clear summer afternoon and caught a trout right away. The black body and buggy shape really stood out in the sun. Works well in still waters where fish are picky.

Good visibility in bright light. The fly mimics ants well and attracted several fish during a late summer session. A reliable addition to my dry fly collection.
Alexander Henderson –
Used it on a calm lake with low cover. The pattern stayed afloat and attracted fish even when the water was very clear. Very effective in the afternoon.
