Rose Fisher –
Used this fly during a spring caddis hatch and got multiple strikes. The emergence action is very realistic and the hook size works well with my rod. A must-have for any trout angler.
Natalie Lee –
Fished in a cold stream and the fly performed well even in low visibility. Trout reacted immediately when the fly was presented. High quality and well-made.
Alan Poole –
Good imitation of the pupa stage. A bit more expensive than other emergers, but the performance justifies the price. Works best during active hatches.
Andrew Tucker –
This is the fly I rely on when standard dries don’t work. The movement and profile are spot-on. I’ve used it in multiple locations and it consistently produces results.
Gabrielle Springer –
The six flies are well packed and the hook size is appropriate. I noticed a slight difference in how it floats compared to other emergers, but it’s still effective in triggering strikes.
