Carl Simpson –
Fished it on the Bow River during a heavy rain. The double bead kept it in front of the fish and the two-tone look matched the natural worm pattern well. Got good strikes, especially in the middle of the run.

Works well in high water. The weight helps it stay in place, and the profile looks realistic. A solid addition to my San Juan fly collection.
Abigail Paterson –
Used it on a cold stream with whitefish. The fly stayed in position and triggered several takes. The design is accurate and the action is natural.
