The UV Chrome Shad fly performs well in clear streams. The UV beads stand out in the water and attract fish consistently. I paired it with a Coho Crusher Flasher and had several coho bites within the first hour of fishing.

Good action and durability. The fly holds up well in fast-moving water. A bit heavy for light tippets, but effective when using 50# fluorocarbon.

Fished in a coldwater river and caught two Kokanee with this fly. The tapered tail and UV beads make it stand out. Works better with the flasher combo as recommended.
