This fly performs well in both dry and dropper scenarios. The foam body holds up well in moving water and the dark wing stands out in bright conditions. I’ve used it on several trout streams and caught several fish with it.

The hopper pattern works great when the water is clear. The legs help keep it stable and the flash adds a natural look. A solid choice for terrestrial imitations.

I’ve fished this fly in different seasons and it consistently performs. The hook bend stays under the surface, which increases the chances of a strike. Highly recommended for stonefly imitations.
