Jessica Hughes –
Used this fly on the Bow River and caught several trout on it as a dropper. The rubber legs give a natural movement and the bead head keeps it weighted properly. Works well in moderate current.
Stewart Nolan –
Good imitation of a stonefly nymph. The barred legs add realism and it sinks well. A reliable choice for nymphing in clear streams.
Sophie Mitchell –
Fished it during a late spring trip and had solid results. The body wire and bead head combination gives a solid profile that matches the natural insect.
