Luke Abraham –
I’ve used this fly on several winter tailwater trips and it caught several trout during early morning hatches. The flash variant stood out well in the dim light and matched the midge hatches perfectly.
Carol Smith –
The fly feels lightweight and natural. It worked well in cold, clear water where small insects are emerging. The hi vis version helped me see it better when casting.
Jonathan Johnston –
Great detail and realistic shape. I tied it myself and it matched the hatches exactly. The local tying process adds a personal touch that mass-produced flies don’t have.
