Cameron Howard –
Used this nymph on a remote stream in the South Island and caught several trout. The action is natural and the size #14 worked perfectly in the current. Great for when fish are shy and not responding to other patterns.
Piers McLean –
Fished it in a back country river and saw good results. The #15 size was a bit heavier than expected, but it held up well in fast water. Would recommend for cautious trout.
Victoria Vance –
This is a reliable pattern for cold, clear streams. The pheasant tail design gives it a realistic look and it floats well. Caught a big trout on a #13 in the early morning.
