Used this fly during a late spring hatch and got multiple strikes. The imitation is very realistic and the hook holds well in the water. A must-have for caddis emergers.
Una Walker –
Fished it in a cold, clear stream and caught a large brown trout. The fly mimics the pupa perfectly and works even when the surface was calm.
Austin Clark –
Good quality and matches the description. A bit more expensive than other emergers, but the performance is worth it for serious trout anglers.
