I’ve used this fly on several trout rivers and it consistently attracts bites. The black and red color matches the natural pupae well, especially in shaded areas. It’s a solid choice for nymphing.
Lillian Churchill –
Works well in stillwater environments. The fly holds up well in the current and looks realistic. I caught a few trout after using it during a late afternoon drift.
Chloe Carr –
Highly effective in both river and pond settings. The natural movement of the fly makes it hard for trout to detect. I’ve used it for several weeks with consistent results.
