This fly performs well in fall waters. The shine and movement from the soft hackle make it stand out in clear streams. I caught several trout using it during a late-season trip.
Victoria Cornish –
Good imitation of pupae. The ribbed body holds up well in current. Works well in low water conditions. A reliable addition to my fall fly box.
Neil Hill –
Felt very natural when fished. The light catch and movement are realistic. Used it in a cold, clear stream and had good results with whitefish.
