This fly performs well in both still and moving water. The purple and black coloration stands out to fish and it casts smoothly. I’ve used it on several grayling streams and it caught a few fish on the first try.

Great addition to my nymphing kit. It’s durable and floats well. I use it as a dropper with a larger pattern above. The barbless design makes it easy to retrieve and handle.

Fished in a coldwater stream and it worked well. The coloration mimics natural nymphs and the barbless design helps with presentation. I’ve seen it catch trout in the early morning.
