This lure worked well in both eastern and western rivers. The natural movement and color match made fish take it easily. I used it during early spring and caught several trout on it.
Katherine King –
Great imitation of a Cranefly larva. Fish were actively feeding on it, especially in the afternoon. It’s a reliable pattern for nymph fishing in varied conditions.
Michelle James –
Used this in a cold water stream on the West Coast. The fish reacted immediately. It’s one of the most realistic patterns I’ve tried for nymph fishing.
